I had no good reads due to some multi-tabling.

QQ's not looking too good after that action in front, and you have no fold equity. I think it's a good fold.

[Shajen]

What was the buy in?

Edit: Christ, I must be going blind. It's right there in the title.

To be honest, I probably don't fold QQ here. I'd like to say I would, but I probably wouldn't. It's a leak I need to plug.

[Nottom]

I think I'd push. The opportunity to win a big pot att his point in the tourney is worth the risk that you might be behind. Plus its a 20, so you are going to be ahead most of the time.

[Laomedon]

This seems like a clear push to me at 20+2, am I wrong? Any reads on either player? Maybe if you had a stack of 2000, it would be a more difficult situation, but seriously, you have what seems to be a good opportunity to triple up. Original raiser could have AJ+ or 99+, reraiser could have 1010+ or AKo+ so you could be very behind but still... I've seen people do some nuts things at a 20+2, I think I would be pushing this more times then I fold it at that level.

I only read the title of your post, I didn't even look at the hand.

And I can tell you just knowing it is a 20 + 2 and you have QQ - terrible laydown.

Don't lay QQ down pre-flop at a 22.

At first I wanted to say "no freaking way I fold here", but it's not that clear cut. The raise really really looks like AA or KK, but at a $22 someone could think AK or JJ is the nuts and play it like that or they could be a smart tricky player who knows how to make it look like AA or KK. Either way I think with 7BBs and 8 players left this is a hand you have to play.

[PapiChulo503]

I think its a good laydown.

I also think its interesting that people are advocating a push because theres a lot of cards that could beat you. UTG is raising 4x the BB and MP re-raises with people left to act behind him, he is representing a monster. Its still early so why risk it?

Q-
Is this an auto push at the next level?

How about the previous level?

[Dr_Jeckyl_00]

Well, it is tough, I don't play $22 so I don't know what people raise with. But there are only 2 hands better than yours at this point and the 1st bet is not that strong, I think that you're ahead most of the time... push.

[PapiChulo503]

Micro,

The blinds are low and theres two other players with shorter stacks. Why not wait for a better spot to double up and let the shorter stacks make some mistakes? Wouldn't he have a better chance of making the money?
