Calling an all in preflop?

[kenzohim]

In this case u get reraise ,u just flat ,check raise flop bet turn maybe can win ,I say that not only result , no face card n aces flop ,only A's n K's beat u ! turn a lo card too ,u big bet or allin can take this !

Maybe I'm overplaying QQ preflop. It's almost a coin flip with AK and a huge underdog to KK/AA.
This is a hand I just played. It was on my other play money account so no big deal but this is just an example of QQ all in preflop deep stacked. I was right about them not having KK/AA but I still lost. Me and villain were just over 250BB's deep.

Hi everyone. NLHE 6 Max ZOOM cash game on PokerStars.
I was told to never fold QQ/KK preflop in a 6 Max cash game.
Obviously calling an all in preflop with QQ/KK at 150BB's deep is an easy call but what about more than 150BB's?
I want to know if it's worth calling an all in preflop with QQ/KK if I'm more than 200BB's deep and my opponent is also more than 200BB's deep?
What is the maximum number of BB's to call an all in preflop with QQ/KK?

I dont like any pre-flop all ins. Many times when I even had AA and lost when they hit the third card in their lower pocket pair. I hate when that happens!

I dont know everyhting depends the player who goes all in. Is he paying too much? Did he lost with marginal hands?
You have to see the scenario and see if worth it maybe lost 20BB with QQ

I usually prefer call all in with AA and KK
It is more safe in my opinion. QQ lost easily in most part of time

As you play ZOOM - you do not well know your opponents...
Play in position.
Go All-in and God help you!

I never fold KK call always.QQ considering that player statistics

 

[deform fedot]

all-in is not the right tactic)
We need to navigate around, what a player's card)

 

[Omahahahaha]

It depends, what hands do you think the other guy has? Poker is not played in a vacuum.

Yep not a fan of zoom games one bit. You got no information on that player so its hard to make all in calls with Premiums such as QQ. AK, AA, KK only unless you spike the set or boat after seeing a flop then you play it like normal.
