I almost never play my big hands this fast, especially against a min-raise. I've been toying around with the idea of firing out hard from the blinds pre-flop, especially in situations like this one. I'd like to get a little more value out of my queens, but I like the message that it sends. I have been getting more walks later on in games, which is huge.

Any thoughts on the metagame value of this vs. perhaps giving up some immediate EV by playing the hand more slowly?
