This battle had my sweating. Once I saw what he had after he went all in, my face went pale, but I figured I had good odds of winning the pot. Here it is.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Welcome to the board AllLiving.

Tough one. Early in a tourney it's tough to re-raise with QQ, but with so many callers in front you pretty much had to, although you should have made it harder to call and not just an invitation for everyone to dump more chips into a multi-pot where your QQ loses a lot of its edge.

72o can't flop a flush. 72s can flop a flush with a 7 kicker that makes a pretty good second best hand. I've folded 72 when I would have flopped a boat and had no second thoughts. I just remember all the times I folded it where it would have missed or made a second best hand. The worst for me is folding the best hand or calling with the second best hand.

I don't like the slow play after the flop with the possible flush draw. You had the highest set and there was a lot of preflop action. Bet the pot or go all in to make them pay for the turn. AA was drawing dead against you; he needed to pull one of 2 aces or hit perfect-perfect to make his flush. Then the flush hits on the turn and you called all in. His AA just improved on the turn because he had Ac and he was no longer drawing dead. You had the best hand on the flop and it held up but the slow play could have been trouble.

Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

I think QQ is my favorite hand.. I think a bigger raise was in order. going to 75 with 4 people in already was just an invite for them to come back over the top, or to just tag along.

Remember Pairs lose power in large multiway pots.

You want to play a like QQ heads up.

When you raise preflop and you hear someone say "damnit i would have made my flush" then you made the right raise.
