late in tourney decision

[Talking Poker]

I mostly skimmed this thread. A few quick thoughts:

1. I mostly agree with Brian. I do think shoving with 11 BBs is fine in this spot, but I too probably prefer to usually just open it normally (especially in a situation where it might look like you are stealing, like in late position).

2. I ALMOST agree with Kurn, but one of the few exceptions happens to be this exact flop - AKx. I'd fold QQ there and save my 8 BBs for a better spot (all in preflop, of course).

3. jdiana is a way bigger than I thought. Only put in 75% of your stack so you can fold after the flop??? Whoa.
