Default Re: $33- Overbetting from the blinds

Here it is: This move folds most hands that your QQ will crush here. The amount of times you get called by 88 or whatever isn't going to make up for it. Why make a move where the guy basically HAS to play bad for you to make money?

Here it is: you overestimate the donks.

Metagame considerations at the 33's barely exist. And if metagame was a good reason for doing anything, this wouldn't be the place to do it. I don't think your opponents will relate level 2 play to level 5 bubble play the way you are hoping they will. I really think you're overestimating both how much your opponents think and how much this play would do for your image if they were thinking players. You typically don't want to be thought of as crazy or push happy in a sng anyways.

Also I don't love the push. I mean it's fine, but if you play well postflop (which you may or may not, that's where discretion comes in), I think you can make a smaller raise and play out the pot.
