Too big a raise?
 

Is bison's convertor not working? Anyway, I want some opinions on a hand. I'm wordering if I raised too much here. No reads. Its the second or third hand of the tournament. Caught QQ in the BB.

Here was my thinking...
- 2 limpers and SB completes
- Don't want play queens with 3 other players
- Don't want Ax staying in
- I definately have the best hand at this point
- I will be out of position after the flop

Too aggressive, or just take the small pot here?

Good raise at a $5 table. I'm surprised one of the limpers did not call.

Re: Too big a raise?
 

I'm a relative newbie to these tourneys as well, but I think a raise of 60 - 75 would be more appropriate. Basically raise about the size of the pot or a tad more. That should knock out one or two opponents, but be small enough to encourage a loose caller or two.

Maybe a little too big, but nothing criminal.
