Default pushing AA-QQ on flop with no overcards

Hey All,
Recently, When I have AA-QQ I'll raise 150, and if I get callers, on the flop I'll push if no overcards hit. I know there are flaws to this tactic, but I'm not seeing them very clearly.
What do you recommend I do?
This is at the $11 sng's.
I'm betting that some are going to call me weak.
You might be right.
Shooby

These things matter and WILL make a difference in your action here. Impossible to get advice for this generalized scenario.

You're letting too much money go.

For the times they hit top pair and want to see the river, you don't give them the chance.

And when they have a set, they call.

So, you lose the most and win the least most of the time.


I like to work their chips in. Bet 2/3 pot, bet pot, standard stuff.

Try to tie them to the pot slowly. (If the board is really draw heavy, bet more of course, but don't put yourself in a poor situation by overbetting the flop when only hands that beat you will call.)

Disclaimer: There are times, and espically at the 11s, when people will call with top pair. It happens a lot actually. But I think you'll gain more chips building the pot slower rather than just getting all of your chips in the middle the second the flop comes down.

Whoops. Consider my post not advice.


I think you can give a GERNERALIZED reply. Like mine.


I think that pushing by 2-7xpot throws too many chips out the window on an uncoordinated board - in general.

Well, that may be, but your "generalized advice" will be wrong a huge chunk of the time. In my opinion giving advice like this is stupid.
