    Default QQ with reraise and push ($25k $5R on stars)

    I saw this hand at a table I was watching and was curious about it as it unfolded. From all the action, looks like QQ is beat ... by at least one of them. What makes me wonder is the fact that burnboy just cold called the push, creating no side pot. Would you ever push over here to try to create a side pot with burnboy, or is this a horrible idea (especially given that the stacks are so deep)? Does someone with AA or KK usually just cold call like burnboy did, or would a lot of ppl try to get the rest of their chips in preflop?

    Like I said, hero's cards are QQ.

    One of these two will show aces about 98% of the time here.
    How multi is this TT?

    And the cold-call by aces is an excellent way to (hopefully) get another person in the pot at a big disadvantage. Player is clearly committed to going in, but is hoping you won't notice that.
