That's a tough one. My thinking would be that I'm going to be left with ~2000 chips if I fold, so I'm all in again soon anyways. There's a good chance that they could have AK, possibly a lower pocket pair than yours, too.

I go for the gold and shove it in there.

Payout structure, how many players left, that kind of thing would help with the decision here.

Assuming that both villains are reasonable players, my guess that you could be a significant dog to at least one of them.

However, you've put in almost 50% of your stack on this hand and would be left with an M of about 7 if you fold. Tough one but I think that I call since I can possibly almost triple up if I win, 1/2 my stack is in the pot and there's a chance that I could be ahead.

Top 20 pay and there are about 60 left. 1st-$500 2nd-$300 20th-$18

Insta-all in. I'd never lay queens preflop in anything that is a $20 buyin or lower online unless like...4 people were all in ahead of me. Even then, I'd think about it.

Go for it then. You are probably behind, but youre not moving up a lot of spots without taking some risks.

Well since all of the regulars have responded minus strategy I'll go on and let you know what happened.

The original raiser had JJ and the guy who had me covered who re-raised me had AK. The flop was nasty AK9, turn 9, river was a beautiful Q and i coasted to the money after that.

Thanks for the help as always.

Yeah, the 2000 raise preflop commits you for the most part.
