This post is more about what to do AFTER this hand than the hand itself (although comments on how I played the hand would be welcome, I just moved up to the 20's recently and I'm noticing that being all in with QQ early on is SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous than at the 10's)
As you may or may not be able to tell from the HH, I was stuck with 30 chips just before the big blind after this hand. My question is: how do you play the microstack after losing a hand like this? Do you even bother trying to come back from it by playing well? My guess is that it's much, much more +EV to just push any 2, hope to lose (or quintuple up) and start a new game so you can make the most of your time. Thoughts?
