Default Absolutely stupid to push w/QQ UTG in first hand of a $5.50 Turbo?

My first hand in a $5 sit and go is below. I think the number of times I get called by a idiots with lesser hands than this is in this situation might be well worth it in terms of $/hr, in spite of the fact that I'm losing a lot of potential chips when I get all folders and a fair amount of chips when I get an AA or KK caller. There are a just a lot of idiots out there at this buy-in, especially at this time of night.

The question is whether I'm just as dumb for using this play occasionally. There's no way the math will justify this, right?

Hand #5773478-1 at TurboSnG-0031h (No Limit Hold'em Sit and Go)


BUTTON is at seat 5 with 1500.
SMALL BLIND is at seat 6 with 1500.
BIG BLIND is at seat 7 with 1500.
HERO is at seat 8 with 1500.
bingo11 is at seat 9 with 1500.
The button is at seat 5.
Tarantulaaaaa is at seat 0 with 1500.
fgallant is at seat 1 with 1500.
Russellatron is at seat 2 with 1500.
smoothrider69 is at seat 3 with 1500.
canyonkid is at seat 4 with 1500.


BUTTON: -- --
SMALL BLIND: -- --
BIG BLIND: -- --
HERO: Qd Qc
bingo11: -- --
Tarantulaaaaa: -- --
fgallant: -- --
Russellatron: -- --
smoothrider69: -- --
canyonkid: -- --

Pre-flop:

HERO goes all-in for 1500, 3 folds, Russellatro goes all-in for 1500. 5 folds

Tournament all-in showdown -- players show:

Russellatron shows Qs Ks.
arknole shows Qd Qc.

Showdown:

Russellatron has Qs Ks 9h 9s Jh: a pair of nines.
arknole has Qd Qc 9h 9s Jh: two pair, queens and nines.

arknole wins 3030 with two pair, queens and nines.

You're getting called by KQo. I think that says enough about this play.

i like this all in at this level and this level only, if you are 4 tabling then this play has +EV TIME VALUE, obviously i'm only estimating this but given that you are often called by AK or a hand that is a dog vs AA or KK you have time value in getting all in early and if you lose firing up another SnG
