Default Re: Unloading QQ, Why Is It So Hard??

5x the bb is a lot, 4x is more reasonable. Subtle difference, but it helps in controling pot size later.

In the first few hands of a tourney, you played this fine. I'd be looking to get all my money in, especially when my Queens are still an overcard pair. Only two hands beat you pre and post flop, villian had one of them, it's rare and unlikely.

You have to consider that in any online tournament, early on, people play crazy. You could have just as easily seen any other pocket pair, or AK, or really anything. You wan't to get paid by those donks. Once in a while you're going to have this situation happen, but you shouldn't let it affect your play.

Think about how much you'd have if you won this hand. That's what matters, not the one time you got unlucky.

It's an online tourney, go ahead and open another one. For every time this happens and you think he has AA/KK, he'll have 22 at least a couple times. It's just the nature of the awful play we see online.

Overall, I'd do the same thing every time.
