Default Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand

Hero: Pushes and starts another $11 when Villain reveals 22.

Realistically, I don't know what to do with this hand. There's not enough room where you can reraise without pretty much committing yourself or crippling yourself for the rest of the tourney.

If the Villain has any sort of holding you should be afraid of though, he would typically check/raise your inevitable continuation bet on that flop. In fact, he would most likely check/call given how uncoordinated it is.

There is the chance he has a monster and is trying to provoke you into pushing by "overbetting." The problem is, 200 into a 180 pot doesn't seem like "I'm betting oddly so I must be bluffing." It feels more like "My A9, A6, TT, JJ, 88, 77, or AK even is most likely the best hand, so it's time to take this pot down."

I push I think, just cause I don't like folding QQ at any point in a tourney unless there's A, K, or 4-to-the-something on the board.
