Default Re: QQ during an all-in fest

Fold

You are almost certainly beat. What do you put the SB on? They are the second caller for an all-in. No one is desperately short-stacked. For the SB to put all there chips in in that spot is beefy.

I would say most times the SB has you beat.

Also consider the tournament value after this hand is over. If you fold you are basically one of six people left. All you need is to pick your spot and double up to be smelling the money (and you have a good bit of time with the blinds at T50).

Look at it this way...

If you fold you are 6-handed with a short but manageable stack

If you play you are usually out and sometimes 6-handed with a better but not massive stack.

Seems easy to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I agree with PokerScott. Even if QQ wins more then it's fair share here because of pot odds (which appears to be debatable since a few think you are up against AA for sure), there is too much additional value you are passing up on by not folding and staying alive while other players are eliminated. When your tournament life is at stake you cannot be over-overcalling.

That may not be a word, but you know what I mean.

this depends more on what level you're playing than anything else. i think in a $5 or $10 it is a call but in a $200 it is definately a fold.
