Re: QQ under the gun

2000? Too large of a raise.
Only AA or KK comes over that.

I don't think it's too large of a raise, and exactly for the reason you've laid out -- only AA or KK comes over that.
If your QQ is no good, you want to give yourself a chance to find out before the flop.
What happens if the flop comes all rags? You're probably in an even worse situation than you would be had you only raised 1,200 and your opponent flat-called in hopes of extracting more after the flop. To me, it's worth the extra 800 PF to find out just that.
Given the stack size of your opponent, this is an easy muck. I'm not keen on tangling with big stacks at this stage of the tournament when I'm all but a lock to get into the money -- moreso when I still have chips I can do damage with.
