Am I good Here (QQ)?

[lehighguy]

Am I good 50% of the time here?

LvL 1, effective stacks 1000
Hero has QQ
Preflop:
EP raises to 125, hero calls.

Flop (heads-up):
EP bets 400, hero goes all-in.

Does he have AA/KK more then 50% of the time at $50+5?

It would help if you included the flop in your post. ;-)

Reraise preflop. Don't let Aces and Kings + 2 pairs hit when you have QQ.

[lehighguy]

Sorry.

Flop: Three uncoordinated unsuited rags.

I don't mind smooth calling pre-flop and pushing anything but an ace hitting. If he has AA or KK I'm going to lose anyway, but I'd rather avoid a coin flip with AK. Plus a lot of hands like 99 or something might call a rag push. I can see pushing too, but I don't think calling is really wrong this early.

Does he have AA/KK more than 50% of the time when he raises 10x the BB and c-bets the raggy flop? No. I'd say 55-JJ is much more likely. I think I'd push this 100% of the time.

Edit: And reraise preflop.

Taking 57-43 flips is a GOOD thing. Taking 57-43 flips along with 80-20 and 70-30 flips is a very GOOD thing.

Not in level one

I see no point in re-raising less then all-in preflop. It just doesn't go with my tournament strategy to drop 300 chips in level one if I whiff a flop. And I feel if I go all in then I'm getting people with worse hands to fold when I still have postflop equity against them.
