    Default Standard Push?

    I'm always thinking- should I see a flop? The one and only time I'm all-in late in a tourney, it doesn't work for me. Usually it's AJ vs my KK, with an ace on the flop every time. Then again people will lay down steals here most of the time, and by just calling they might outdraw.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG (t14125)
    MP (t10043)
    Button (t18967)
    SB (t36595)
    Hero (t27407)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
    2 folds, Button raises to t3600, 1 fold, Hero raises to t27332, Button calls t15292 (All-In).

    Flop: (t46449) 8, J, 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: (t46449) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t46449) 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t46449

    Results in white below:
    Button has Ks Kc (two pair, kings and eights).
    Hero has Qh Qc (two pair, queens and eights).
    Outcome: Button wins t38009. Hero wins t8440.

    there is no way I flat call that preflop... and I cant see me folding this hand at this point unless I have a more than solid read on this dude...

    That leaves us with only one option... raise! And anything less than an all in bet will almost commit ourself in that pot if he calls. Unless you think a min raise can be an option here... Wich i think is just silly!

    So I guess it's a standard push!

    I agree, I'm pushing here every time, the chances of him having KK or AA are slim and you've got 8.5k left if he does. This isn't a lot for the blind levels but the blinds are about to go through the 2 short stacks.
    Plus, you win and your pretty much guaranteed to get heads up.
