Default Re: Who likes pushing QQ early w/3 limpers in front?

To elaborate further why pushing is bad.

AA-JJ are the TOP 4 starting hands and I expect that when I have one it's the best hand over 95% of the time. When I KNOW I have the best hand I'm looking to maximize my earn.

Pro's of pushing:
- Low risk.
Con's of pushing:
- You don't make much in this situation.

Pro's of raising:
- Worse hands will call.
- Can get away from bad flops while still having a stack.
Con's of raising:
- Risk of multiway pot (worst thing possible).

I think people sometime's get too caught up with playing extra tight/super aggressive early in SNGs. That's obviously good play but when you almost positively have the best hand, don't play scared.

my 2 cents that's probably misguided
