I don't remember any good reads on opponents here - hadn't seen them do anything outrageous. I thought there was a chance MP would have raised smaller w KK or AA to get customers, and I thought it was likely he would make this play with JJ, possibly TT, probably AK, and possible AQ. I put the original raiser on a wide range of hands and thought he would probably fold to an all-in and a call.

My stack is about average, there are 115 players remaining and 40 places pay.

Fold it and wait for another day or throw the money in and hope for a huge score?

What a wacky board!

If my read on MP2 is that he's a solid player, I fold QQ preflop after the re-raise all in. As an average stack, my aim is survival and picking a good spot to lead out with a big bet, not to call one.
