Pretty standard shove here. Can anyone see me doing anything else in this position?

I know what you're thinking...you are trying to figure out if there is anything you could have done differently so you wouldn't have busted this hand.

There isn't. You have QQ and 8bbs. All in everyday and twice on sunday. Unlucky he flopped an A but that is part of the game.

Move to BBV

I lost a hand like this in the Sunday million with 60 people left, sometimes you just can’t get away from spots like this, poker can be brutal.

++++1. The question on this thread looks like a beginner question.

I know the feeling

you might have this feeling, but other people who replied in the thread that you are referring to do not probably share it because they provided detailed and super-helpful responses. The thread that asks "should I shove with QQ and 8 blinds" :
1) only has 1 answer
2) is not debatable
3) should not be posted at all
4) waste of time

fold pre

Dude, just let it go. Relax.

ez fold flop

[x] MP 8bb QQ is a shove
[ ] could ve played differently
[x] not sure the A9o reshove is that +EV

Standard i guess but not so sure actually. Wht you guys think?

Lets be positive and try to extract value from an original no brainer dullish Post
