    Default QQ - Preflop All-In call

    Playing 5NL had $4.75 raise 3x BB. Fold around to a player who has played 20 hands and has shoved twice already. They bought in for $1 min @ table. Do I call the $1.70 since their play is dumb and I can't lose my entire stack?

    If I lose that's a lot of BB to make up, but I called ... Thoughts?

    I'd raise to 4xbb pre, and call the shove. Did they show down either of the other two shoves?

    Flaming the chatbox cause they just don't get it
    IMO it's a call, there are alot of maniacs at the 5NL pushing with way worse hands. If you saw him pushing that much, I guess you can take your chances and see him as a maniac in which case you totally beat his range..

    OMG POKERTRACKER IS RIGGED!

    NO!

    you call because his range is practically NEVER tighter than JJ+, AK (and it's almost always wider than that):

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 47.366% 45.79% 01.58% 164644764 5675268.00 { QQ }
    Hand 1: 52.634% 51.06% 01.58% 183588540 5675268.00 { JJ+, AKs, AKo }

    so it's still a call

    I as gonna come in here and say the exact same thing Surviva, Either I'm as good as you at poker, or you're as bad as me.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
