Re: qq from party poker level 1

Is the 5-10% rule also used for tournaments? I thought this was mainly used in NL moneygame.

First, I should say that the "5-10%" is how I play. I dont' know if this an official rule or not. If the side game stacks aren't too deep, I use it in both side games and the early levels of tournaments.

Another point: If you raise to 100-125 chips on level 1, how often will you get action from people that you want action from(ie not aces or kings)?

Very often, even at 30/3. Do you really think people are going to fold AQ, AJ, JJ, TT? Not at the tables I play at. Throw in 1 moron who calls with 76o and this is usually a good play. Try 100 and see what happens. I'd go as low as 90 if I'm in LP and its folded to me, but no lower than that.
If re-raised, you may well be up against AA or KK. However, because you bet 100+ and someone raised, you may be able to get away from your QQ. If you had bet 60, you will probably be stuck.
