Hand #1 of a $33. All in w/ QQ preflop, sure why not...

I've got QQ in the BB.

Folded to the Button who raises to 150, SB folds, I push

Whatcha think?

I like it, given the 10x BB raise. This just screams "donk!" to me.

I think everyone needs to choose which hand they "draw a line in the sand" with in regards to pushing/calling all-ins with. For me QQ is on the pushable side of that line, AK and JJ are not.

I haven't played party in awhile, but my PF pushes 1st hand seemed to always get called by JJ, so i like it.

I probably raise to 400 and push any flop.

What about an A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] flop and I've got Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I don't like the whole "push any flop" idea.

Me neither. If you're going to see a flop, you probably need to fold anything with an A or K that makes your Spidey-sense tingle. Which is why I push QQ and let my luckbox throw a Q on the river.

Your avatar reminds me of the time I was very, very wasted in Tokyo and my friend bought be a flaming cocktail. I didn't see him blow his out and I proceeded to pour the thing all over my face and hands attempting to drink it - did I mention I was very, very drunk. The pain sobered me up considerably, so that I was fully conscious when my 'friend' puked all over me on the jam-packed subway on the return to our hotel. So far an everyday story of lager louticity. However, the next day, with blisters the size of saucers we went to a (very) hot natural spa. As I stepped down into the bath, I remember thinking 'whatever you do don't get any of this scalding water on your burns'. Mere nanseconds later I slipped on the rocks and found myself fully submerged. Pain - let me tell you about pain.
