Party 100 NL 6 handed

Hero: $190
DangerMan: $125
ShortStack: $20

Hero is on the button with QQ, it's currently 5 handed.

1 limp, then ShortStack in the CO goes all in for $20.

Hero makes it $60 to go.

DangerMan in the BB goes all in for $125.

No reason to think this isn't AA or KK (DangerMan isn't an obvious nutter), although AKs is possible.

Pot is $205, its $65 to call for Hero.

Play or fold?

Also, better moves possible after the first $20 all in?

Thanks.

I'd just min-raise here, though that may not be the best play.

Given the way you played it. $205 in pot and $65 to me?

Opens up pokerstove.

Using just AA, KK, AK, and AKs as the possible holdings for your opponent, it's a call witht the price you are getting. Personally, I imagine his range is a tad bit broader than this.

HOw do you limp on the button before the shorstack in the CO?

65 more into a 205 pot when 5 handed with QQ, i'll take my chances. pot odds are compensating you enough to the point where its worth defending your money.

preflop, i would just have called the all in. i understand you wanted to reraise to isolate, but the 20$ should be enough to isolate everybody else. the 20$ preflop bet is enough where nobody is calling that after you called it first. they'll only move in over both of you or fold, assuming they are sane.

easy call for those odds. i agree with the comments of minraising to 40.
