I saw the other QQ posts today and I figured I'd add my hand too.
Sorry, I don't have the hand history, but I was playing a 10+1 at Party and the blinds were 15/30. I was in middle position with QQ, 2 people limped, and a third raised to 130 chips. Now I was thinking about raising it to about 350 or so, but I had just read that if you're going to raise 35% of your stack you should just push so I pushed. AK called and you can guess what happened since I'm posting this.
I guess I'm just wondering if that 35% rule works this early in a sng. I mean, if I had raised to 300 or so and then pushed the flop of rags, AK would've folded probably. I would call if someone pushes preflop, but it just seems like if an A or K had come on the flop I would've folded. I would have had about 400 chips left in level 2 and I feel that I can come back from that . . . Or maybe I should stop bitching my most recent 10+1 loss /images/graemlins/confused.gif
