You are sitting at a .25/.50 blind cash game on stars. UTG raises to 1.50 (VP$P 30% PFR 20% 180 hands seen). He gets 3 callers including the button. You have QQ in the BB with about $45. The four callers have between $23-$61. You obviously dont want to fold or cold call.
In this situation I have been occasionally just pushing all in. I dont put UTG on a strong hand because of his stats. I figure KK or AA would have reraised. I figure I may get calls from 99+ or AK on an all in push. If I raise to $4-$7 the only realistic call other than a creative AA play is AK, JJ or an loose set chaser. If button calls Im out of position with a difficult play if an A or K hits the flop. If it does not my villian will likely fold his AK and I win a realitively small pot. I play enough hands that if i get that AK call im happy because of the approx 56% to 44% advantage and loosing a few "coin flips" will not tilt me because of good BR management.
What are your thoughts on occasionally using this play and why? Thanks.
