I know I should have raised more PF with the 2 limpers in front, but I don't really like my pocket QQ that much with 2 limpers and so many people left to act behind me on the first hand of the tournament. When SB pushes I was thinking that my hand is most likely best right now, but there are still 2 people to act behind me when it gets around to me. This seems to me to be a good example of a +$chip EV but -$EV play. I know how I played it and I know how it feels like it should be played, but comments and opinions on this are greatly appreciated.
