Re: $22 Q,Q early on
I don't like it.
The reasons to push are:
1) to get a better hand to fold. There is no way that is going to happen here.
2) to protect your hand against a strong draw. If you are ahead here, your oppenent is drawing to 5 outs at best. A smaller bet accomplishes the same effect while still possibly inducing a bluff.
3) for value. I doubt that you are getting paid off by a worse hand if you push here, but donks have taught me never to be too shocked at what they are likely to do.
Your hand meets none of these criteria. All you accomplish by pushing is making sure that you either win the pot at its current size or get called by a better hand and go broke.
