In a freeroll tournament, there's always players that shove almost any two cards, hoping to double up. They usually don't stop doing that, so they bust pretty fast, even if they get up to chip leader.

You have QQ, you're only behind KK and AA, and you're a flip vs AK. You're ahead of everything else. Snap-call.

Early in a freeroll, he could have anything.

Typically you wouldn't want to play for your entire stack in the early stages of a tournament. Even when you have a monster starting hand you should be keeping pots relatively small. Risking your tournament life to win someones 10,000 chip starting stack isn't ideal.

However, freerolls are a different breed of poker. No one risked any money to get in so often times they want to try to establish a big stack quickly. You're way ahead of the range of hands most freeroll players are shoving in the first blind level. This is a snap call.

Bro, every tournment we have to play tight on begining, but LOT of players try to double or triple with small pairs or AJ+ in freerolls, so you're being so BIG ahead these players. Maybe in late game you should fold QQ versus some TAG players, but not in freerolls on early stages! Good luck! :)
