QQ in the BB Early in Tourney

[bigslick98]

$10+1 NLH two Table. Blinds 15/30 and I have 1470 and I am in BB. EP calls 30, individual in MP (who's raising standards are very suspect) makes it 150 to go. He has 2265 in chips. Folded to SB who calls the 135 (1635 in chips). I looked down at QQ. My question is, whats your play? I see two alternatives: Either move in or make it 500 to go. If I make it 500 to go and I am reraised, then whats my play? Just to let you know the EP folded. Results to follow.

I think you are discarding the flat call prematurely. You have QQ against a limper, a raiser and a cold caller. Flat calling for 120 is an option if it would be hard to get all 3 out preflop, or at least 2 players (will the raiser actually lay down to a re-raise?). The moving in or check raising all in on the flop (depending on the aggression level of the raiser) if no A/K falls.

early on it costs you 120 in the bb. your hand is well hidden, it's still vulnerable, you can get away cheap if you see a scary flop, and you're likely to get paid off given the right flop. (60% no A or K) this is a time where you dont need to push any chips in before the flop IMO.
