Default $55 QQ

Hi all, I'm still pretty new to SNGs, but I really would like to get better at them, so bear with me here...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP2 (t1000)
Hero (t1000)
CO (t990)
Button (t1240)
SB (t880)
BB (t1450)
UTG (t985)
UTG+1 (t1000)
UTG+2 (t880)
MP1 (t575)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t15, MP2 calls t15, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t70</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t125</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t110, MP1 calls t110, MP2 folds

This is the third hand of the tourney. In the second hand, he called a 75 chip raise from the SB with J7o and led out for 45 chips into a 240 chip pot (PFR and one other guy) on a Q64 flop. Then he just checked it down along with them even after hitting his jack.

I'm not really worried about the other players, I have reason to suspect they are just donks based on some bad play in the first hand.

I'm NOT playing this sucker 4 handed - period. And I'm not folding. $5 or $55, I'm pushing it here and now. Your read on donk-reraiser increases the chance of us seeing him flip 99 or something. Failing to get HU will suck...get your mouse ready to fire up another.

I call and await developments. I'm somewhat concerned about his "I have AA" weird little re-raise, although I'm far from convinced.

[Although, given your read, pushing might be better.]

With 400+ chips in the pot already and I holding the third best hand in poker I am all-in as fast as I can barring any read. Especially the one that says this guy is a donkey

Given your read, this is an easy push IMHO.

I think it is probably right to push, but just calling is really awful. You have to play 4 handed not even in position. Almost any flop is scary, especially with none of their hands pegged at all. I'm not sure how this would work out, but I know with a lot of really big donks, they are afraid to go "all in". Maybe raising to like 500 trying to isolate the donk could almost guarantee his call and let you out on an A/K flop. That said, I think I push.

Assuming we don't have that second hand on him and he is a complete unknown... what is the move then?
