QQ Preflop: How does the buy in determine how you play this hand?
No reads, 1st level.
How do you handle this: at the a) 33s and under b) 55s or 109s c)215s and +? Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter Button (t775) Hero (t840) BB (t620) UTG (t800) UTG+1 (t800) UTG+2 (t800) MP1 (t800) MP2 (t770) MP3 (t770) CO (t1025) Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t30</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t125</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ? |

1) Push (this is automatic with t800 chips)
2a) $55s almost certainly push 2b) $109 push if (i) never seen CO before, or (ii) have seen him and he's a donk 3) Never played them yet, but I'd imagine the same as the $109 |

Me? I call, then check-raise all in any flop without A or K.
I also don't mini-raise ever. My guess is that the Villain is reacting to your mini-raise as much as anything else, and is trying to isolate what appears to be a loose player with a weakish hand. |

I didn't min raise.

If the BB is 15 and you raise to 30, that's a mini-raise.
I raise probably to 80-100 here, as people will still often incorrectly call even that with small-medium pocket pairs and suited cards. |

Thanks for the lesson on min raises, should I give you a lesson on how to read a HH now?

Does anyone consider folding? I don't play 33's or 55's - I can assume they are donkfests, but at the higher levels there is no reason to get tangled with as vulnerable a hand as QQ this early. I would need proper odds for hitting a set to play this on 7/15, or perhaps a sizable raise (90 or 100) and then 4 callers - in that case, and in that case only - I would push and take 400 chips, if I feel table is donkish.
