    Call, assume best hand if A does not flop

    If we call and flop undercards and villain continues to show aggression we're still possibly facing AA/KK which are possible holdings. What's the plan if we bet a low flop and villain shoves?

    If we flop undercards and villain has say AQ/AK/AJ we're unlikely to get paid.

    Obviously if an A/K flops what do we on the flop? Check/Bet?

    I'm quite happy to get it all in pre-flop here, I think lol. Interesting situation anyways needs more posts.

    I think that playing it either way is okay. Push pre or call and reassess. You are out of position here so post-flop you will be at a disadvantage, but QQs are not too tough to play post-flop. I think it depends a little on how tough you think your table is and how good you are. It is early and you are a winning player who will be likely to get it in with the best hand later on. I think villian can easily be doing this with JJ+ AK/ maybe AQ. I don't think a "regular" $27 would do this with TT. I personally would push pre, without a better read on the opponnet.

    i would call here and see the flop. if its all undercards then i will pay him if he's holding AA KK. A and or K on the flop might be a tough laydown.
