Man so many people just dont get it. You can frecking call here with QQ if you want, why is it a 'misplay'. Why on earth would you think its misplayed by the preflop call mistifies me. We are fairly deep here as well, especially for a tournament.

As far as the actual hand just go broke, what can you do once you see that flop. Put it all in on the turn in case villain has a set or a better overpair that would call the all in on the turn but might not put in another dollar on a bad river. Also he may be semibluffing with lots of hands so you need to stick it all in on the turn so that he calls it off with a pair+draw hand or just naked draw.

as strassa said, there's no shame in calling here preflop, especially with these stack sizes.

I'm going broke here every time.

Jason,

Are you saying that you like prefer the cold call or that you just don't think it's a bad line?

I'm trying to see both sides here. I can see the advantages of a cold call because it disguises the hand, keeps the out of position player leading and keeps the pot relatively small. But on the opposite side, I think a raise may eliminate a lot of hands that could easily outflop you (maybe too many). Do you really want to allow KQ-KT, AJ-AT in here cheap? Or are you more concerned with trying to win a large pot because of the deep stacks?

Push it.

I mostly like to reraise PF because I'm out of position. A min-raise isn't a sign of strength and I don't want an Ax or Kx hand outflopping me for free. Nor do I want to deal with Axx or Kxx boards first to act each round, if I can help it. It's a way to avoid dealing with a difficult situation (OOP against a raiser whose hand strength is pretty undefined).
But it's not so certain that calling is a misplay and I think you go broke either way on that flop.
