Neither one of you is getting away from AJ - QQ pre flop. Ive cashed in 3 of the last 4 $50 free rolls on Carbon by protecting my stack and not donking - ever. Raise - sure - but not all in - you make more $ by playing strong cards and keeping it small till you hit nuts and then even still ur value betting to keep the 3 fish in the pot to hit there dead money flushes into your boat.
You have to realize you could be dead or 52% here pre flop easily. If he has AK, AA, KK, or EVEN QQ - your not getting return on your shove - its a donk flip. I have gone cold for a month on donk flipping - it happens. IF you played the flop and saw the King there - you could keep it small. IF you saw the Ace there as well u should be folding into steep bets.
That being said Im a SNG player most of the time and Im shoving QQ all day - the difference being Im up against 6 people - and ur up against 200. You may want to take a look at the flop when up against another big stack. I've had reads and folded JJ many times correctly - QQ is a little harder to fold but keep in mind your draws are horrible. 1 pair often wins but how many times do you see 1 card flushes and crazy str8s out here.
Definitely not a bad play QQ all in - but your gonna have mad swings in your game all in pre flop. Are you gonna shove QQ every time you get it for the whole tourney? IT's gonna get beat eventually - you may even be 18% preflop.
