Re: Help playing QQ in SNGs



There are two basic philosophies:

(1) Just put your chips in and take your chances
(2) See a flop and get your chips in if there's no A or K

The first one acknowledges that SNGs are a dime a dozen and
if you bust out quickly you can just get into the next one.
The second probably has a slightly higher EV, but not by
all that much.

Unless I'm dead certain I'm beat, I'll gamble with QQ even
early in the tournament. It's not like busting out is that
big a deal.
