looks good to me, like the preflop overbet, usually gets better than 4 handed- i like the line though

Re: overplayed QQ?
 

i don't mind the line. however on the flop you're not getting called by much that you beat.

it's the 3rd hand of a 6.5. pooshing is fine.

Re: overplayed QQ?
 

Nothing wrong I can see here. Especially at this level of SNGS; it being a $6.50 and all. You just got unlucky and ran into a set. NP. Fire up the next SNG.

Re: overplayed QQ?
 

im curious, how would i approach it differently if i was playing higher stakes?

Re: overplayed QQ?
 

of course you didnt overplay this.

I'd like to know this too.
At what point are we getting away from this? Or losing less chips?

At higher stakes, there's more of a worry about someone hitting a set. Most of the time when someone stays with you, its with a hand that beats you. In the very low stakes tourneys, people with call your bets here with AK, runner runner flush/straight draws, middle pair, things like that. You'll run into enough of those types of hands to make the play profitable, where as in the higher stakes, you'll see consistably stronger hands here and there will be less profit in a play like this.
