QQ is a more interesting choice.

JJ=fold

I MIGHT lay down QQ lvl 1 if I have previous notes that he is super tight. But at lvl 1 you have the biggest concentrations of donks. You need to capitalize on this before they all bust out with A9o all-in preflop. Call QQ too.

Also, what lvl is this? I only have experience up through 30s (which I assume you're at considering the question).

Unless you know that this is a very strong, very tight player then an easy call and even if he is that strong, tight player it is a call for me although I wouldn't be as surprised when he flipped over AA...

[Karak567]

Folding KK pre-flop is always wrong (almost always).

I really hope you didn't fold here.

I wouldn't lay down QQ here either.

no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

DO NOT FOLD KK PREFLOP.

I experimented with the Level 1 KK open-push in a 22 last night. I was UTG on the first hand and figured what the hell, push. The first caller had TT, so I consider the experiment a success. The second had AA. That's an occupational hazard. Do whatever you can to get all your chips in preflop with KK.

the range of hands the average sng player would push with here is so large that folding would be a crime. A CRIME I TELL YE. Also, even if he turned up AA, it doesnt mean that folding was the right play.
