Re: Betfair 10k MTT today, last hand before the first break I think QQ is one of the most difficult hands to play. A raise being called then you see a K or A on the flop and you've just got a whole bag of problems....shoving preflop removes those problems, although I'm not sure I would do it, I don't think it's a bad move....maybe she also dislikes QQ. In this instance it looks like all the chips would have gone in anyway as both players would have been wanting to bet the flop holding an overpair. {...reading the other thread which is very similar the general feeling is to fold and wait...however there could be history here, which is impossible to tell, so I would still say it's a very debatable point and, in effect, there may be no right or wrong answer as so much depends on other factors.}
