Absolutely stupid to push w/QQ UTG in first hand of a $5.50 Turbo?

[elonkra]

My first hand in a $5 sit and go is below. I think the number of times I get called by a idiots with lesser hands than this is in this situation might be well worth it in terms of $/hr, in spite of the fact that I'm losing a lot of potential chips when I get all folders and a fair amount of chips when I get an AA or KK caller. There are a just a lot of idiots out there at this buy-in, especially at this time of night.

The question is whether I'm just as dumb for using this play occasionally. There's no way the math will justify this, right?

You're getting called by KQo. I think that says enough about this play.

i like this all in at this level and this level only, if you are 4 tabling then this play has +EV TIME VALUE, obviously i'm only estimating this but given that you are often called by AK or a hand that is a dog vs AA or KK you have time value in getting all in early and if you lose firing up another SnG
