Villian got the huge stack by flopping the nut flush and taking two stacks in the process, other than that I dont have any info on him.

I guess I could go all-in pf, but I just dont feel like risking my whole stack so early. Not to mention he's going to fold most of the time so why not let him make a second best hand on the flop and have him pay me off then.

Thoughts?

Well this is about the 1 millionth post (1/2 of them are mine) that basically says " what do I do with my kings/queens when an ace flops."

the answer is....."it depends"

probably not the answer you were looking for but hey it's free advice. Seriously if I was in your shoes I raise more preflop 270ish should be fine. I fold the flop here almost everytime unless I have deadly read on the guy. It sucks when you get beat by a 3 outter but it sucks worse to get knocked out of the tournament.

Different scenario but it helps with the above. You are UTG with QQ you raise... UTG+3 reraises allin....MP2 reraises allin....and the button and small blind both reraise all in. ( I know this would never happen but bare with me). Do you like your queens anymore? You would likely toss them and pat yourself on the back for a great laydown when you see AA KK and AK etc.

So isn't this laydown quite the same? Yes he could have jacks. You could reraise him to find out but now you are REALLY bleeding chips if your wrong. Given that this is a 10+1 I think you are beat by ace/rag about 80% of the time here. Good luck at the tables
