Push! Why would you think of laying down QQ? That's the third best possible hand, and the range of hands of your opponents is enormous.

blinds are 15/30 heavy action to me and I currently have the biggest stack at the table

too weak to even consider?

Re: Possible to lay QQ down PF??
 

It is very possible to fold QQ preflop, I have done it many times to great success. However a solid % of the time, I don't have any stats or anything, I bust out when dealt against a higher pair. Of course it is much easier to fold QQ with 50+bb than it is with with 15.

I would suggest you take into account how the re-raiser got his big stack. If he got it by being a donk, than push. If he got it by playing solid or you have previous experience with him you a case might be made for folding.

Of course it is much easier to fold QQ when several people are into the pot all in in front of you. I probably push here since there is a lot of dead money in the pot. I just hate when the re-raiser calls and flips over AA/KK and I'm not very pleased when he calls with AKs or otherwise.

Is it horrible to just call here and see a flop with position? You can look for a set on the flop. If it doesn't hit, play the situation and texture of the flop.

I think with a raiser and two callers the original raiser would be hesitant to simply push.

Did you see the HH? It's A) raise B) re-raise C) call. What does this say about each player's hands relative to each other?

I think there's reason for caution here, plus it's early in the tournament.

I like this play if you are the one closing the action. However with one player left to act behind me I don't like it

Re: Possible to lay QQ down PF??
 

I was pushing if you didn't push, and I had QQ too. I very begrudgingly folded, and I'm still not sure if that was the best play.

Edit: But yeah, in your position I'm pushing.

Take a look at your pokertracker DB, level one all-ins are surprisingly weak. They are a bit foolish early on. No time invested. I think your hourly rate will benefit by pushing here.

I discuss some all-in data from Pokertracker level one 20's HERE

Without reading the post, yes it is possible to lay down
QQ preflop in a SNG.

Edit: though I can't recall doing so although I'm sure I have.
