Default Who likes pushing QQ early w/3 limpers in front?

My standard play in this situation is to raise between 150-200. I’ve been experimenting with some different ways to play hands, and thus I decided to push here since there was already 135 in the pot. How often do you think I get a fishy call here with a lower pp/aq or worse, in a Party 33sng? Do you think pushing here is worse, better, or about the same, as compared to raising 150 – 200 instead? Why?

33sng – bb t30

I did the exact same thing with 690 chips and AKo last night. I like this play as it almost guarantees you an increase of 135 chips, and on the off chance someone does call, you will double up a good majority of the time.

Don't cop out, just raise. You need to be able to play this post-flop. I mean even at the Party $33 you're going to get AJ+ calling sometimes (and possibly worse) so save yourself some early bad beat tourney ousts and just raise.

Take the gambooL out of SNGs early. You'll get enough of that on the bubble.

With 1000 chips stacks it's a copout. With 800 chip stacks, I think it's a decent play.

Obviously, the idea is I don't like gambling early in tournaments when I can simply fold to [censored] flops. Level 4+ easy push.

I like gambling if I think I'm going to have a 70% chance to double up.

I'd rather take a 70/30 race early than a 50/50 cf on the bubble and hit the bubble with a big stack to pound the lil guys into submission.

Thats just me though.

I don't push here, but it's not because I'm afraid AJ will call.
