Hand that's been bothering me

#1 10-08-2005, 06:08 PM

Final two tables of a $10+$1 on Stars from about a month ago. 13 left. Blinds 20-40k. I'm chip leader with 400kish.

I pick up QQ UTG 7 handed and make it 120k to go. UTG+1 pushes for ~360k. Button calls all in for 200k.

What's my play and why? I've been really torn up about this hand for a while and want some other opinions on it.

Thanks

well maybe not that does not discredit the fact that this is a stupid thread

That's always a nice thing to say to the new poster.

I realize I'm being results oriented but do I have to get rid of this PF given the action? That is basically where my question lies.

Thank you.

Why is this a stupid thread?

There are many things to take into consideration here and just because the OP has QQ does not make this an automatic call, read this to find out why. 2+2 magazine article

Tom says it best, it's a push pf. One, your either getting called by someone who's making a stand. The problem with ur raise is that anyone paying attention usually doesn't mess with UTG raise late in tournaments. The reraise says super strength and ur going to have to fold this. Now, pushing preflop utilizing ur chips status ends any tough decisions. Your money is in all u can do is get called and see 5 cards.
