Quick Question 1:

Hot 4,40 last 30:

we are in MP with arround 5,5BB and pick up Q8hh

table is passive

Push or fold ?

Micro MTT ITM:

We open the BTN to 2,25 with QQ

SB flat BB shove

We are same size as SB do we want to flat here to make him come along or do we want to jam ourselves ?

I'd jam Q8s, but it's around the bottom of my Qxs range in MP with 5.5bb

QQ needs more details (stack sizes, player info, etc.), but I'd likely reraise.

QQ hand:

we have arround 100k at 800/1600 and SB has 110k BB is very short with arround 15k

BB is recreational player and SB is from Russia so he is probably a nit

Jam Q8, re jam QQ all day, if SB wakes up with a better hand then that's bad luck but your mostly always gonna be ahead of his flatting range

this might be a stupid question, but if we are convinced that SB is weaker than us dont we want to have him in the hand so we have possibly 200k instead of 130 ?

If you call you are giving him odds to call with ATC and try and out flop and stack you, I suppose a re raise not all In to try and induce him to bluff but this seems pretty optimistic. I'd always shove with the money already in the pot, but I wouldn't mind a cold call with KK or AA occasionally.

My play with QQ this deep totally depends on what I think of SB. If I think he's capable of spazzing and jamming worse, then calling is best. If he flats, I don't really care. I have QQ and he will be in the pot OOP with hands I crush. Anything you do looks strong, so all options have some merit behind them.
