Default Re: $11 QQ Does anyone call preflop with villain making this move?

Read through these posts, and you'll get an idea of the junk people play. You'll be surprised how weak the hands are people will call with, and how weak your hand needs to be to push it. Given where you are starting from, it's almost impossible for you to be too aggressive. That is, if you are in any doubt as to what to do with a hand, make the aggressive choice. It will take you awhile to get used to. If you play a conservative, wait for the nuts type game, you'll get killed by the structure of the tournament.

Tight/aggressive early, loose/aggresive late. Make your opponent show you a better hand when you have a reasonable hand (like TPTK). The strategy is *much* different than a ring game, which puts more of a premium on caution and patience.
