QQ in the small

[Trainwreck]

Have you seen much of what these villains have raised with before?

They were the button and the co-off (button - 1)?

That's a typical get the blinds to fold raise, so I'd try around 3000.

I'd be prepared to call an AI if one so chooses to go that route when it comes back to them, also though what is your image at the table too, always consider that as well.

So if you do end up raising to ~2400 and the original raiser goes all in then do you have the easiest fold ever knowing he has AA or KK?

I'm curious as to the thinking when you are holding Queens because they always seem to get me busted out of tourneys...

That's the best argument for pushing PF. Reraises from the blinds are not often respected so the hand ranges that will call you or will include KK and AA, but not as often as you'll see 88-JJ or a strong Ax or Kx.

personally i like a push here,you just know if you take this hand to a flop you'll have a tricky decision to make,most likely an a or k flops,then you're second guessing yourself.
i would guess half the time both villians fold to your push,and if 1 calls,you would win it half the time,which seems to make this a good play 3/4 of the time,hopefully this is one of the 3 times,and not the one time you ran into aa or kk.

I think a pot sized reraise gives both players odds to call getting 3-1 from open raiser and evn better for the button if the 1st raiser calls you. More than likely you now have the best hand and the fact that you are still a ways from the money I push here and hope to get a loose call from a Mid- pair or Ax. If you happen to get cold decked against AA/KK then so be it, but with 20x BB this is your chance to double up and get deeper in the tourny.
