I played a live tourney tonight. During the second or third hand, a player in front of me went all-in pre-flop. I had QQ in middle position with most of my original stack intact. Not wanting to risk my tournament life so early on, I folded.
The guy's jaw was twitching, but never having played with him before, I didn't know whether he was sweating it or wanted a call. After everyone else folded he claimed he had QQ and was hoping someone would call, but he didn't show his cards so I don't know if that was true or not. If it was, we obviously would have chopped the pot.
Anyway, was it a dumb move not to call with QQ, or was it reasonable not to want to risk it all that early? I'm afraid I may be playing too conservatively.
