I thought that my decision here was pretty clear, but my roommate disagreed. Comments on any part of the hand would be greatly appreciated.

The old "don't go broke w/ a pair" is in effect.

I fold those queens. Once the flop hits, you're basically on a weak draw, having to beat two opponents. Not worth risking the whole tourny on that hand.

I agree with the previous post, however, I have another question for you. What was the buy-in for this tournament? The reason I ask is because at lower limits it doesn't take much to move a person all-in and you may have had the best hand. Regardless, I think folding is your best choice.

I actually think this is a call. I've played in a few of these and once I had KK in the first hand. Flop was something like 59Q rainbow and a guy went all in and I called and he had something like 7T, no draw, no nothing. Generally, against normal people I'd fold, but you have no idea how stupid this guy could be.

I call this really fast. I think we have the best hand here a ton, and if not we still might have the highest club. The second guys min reraise screams weakness to me. He could be protecting a set, but I think you see crappy tens, weird draws and such more than you see sets or made flushes. Of course I'm assuming these guys are typical low buy-in donks (not an unfair assumption if this is a low buy in tournament).
