Key is this is bubble time. I thought QQ was too good not to raise, but hated and loved the flop. I could be toast to even one club, but I also have 10 outs to a boat (including a running pair) blah blah. But, because this is bubble should I just drop it? 500 is my standard raise at this level, but is that too small? Should I just shove the whole stack preflop even with a good hand like QQ?
Why?
I've seen similar situations on bubble and it always puzzles me what the smart play is when I know I've got a good hand, but can't be sure it's the best hand or up against a wicked draw by someone who has me covered. Is it true that if I have him covered, it doesn't matter, just shove them in? Which street, pref, or now?
Thanks for the help.
