the main reason why i would play this Q-Q not aggresive, is in a situation .where i am close to the finsal table in a tournament...so to protect my stack against someone with an even bigger stack then myself...and maybe if i was intimidated because i was at a table with only strong players...
It's a weak play anyway if u play it scared,,even in the situation above...
a few hands later you might get J-J, 10-10,9-9,8-8 or other PP ,then what u gonna do???
so slowplaying these queens will probably also affect the rest of ur tournament...which is not a good thing...
But in a cashgame all is different...then i go for doomdys advice and vision...

I had so many times i shoved my AK/AQ/AJ/AT/A9/KQ/KJ/AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT/99/88 at the bubble and busted, i also had so many times i shoved these and won and got myself a playable stack or even a bigger stack then i allready had. For example at the bubble and me is middle stack SB i shove standard any2 in UNraised pot if BB is also kinda middle, so 27o goes to he max. Imho we loose a lot of money in tourneys long run if we play scared during the bubble.

As usual I got a lot of good advice and received interesting insight into how others perceived that hand. I always recommend to the BRM forum members to post hands - it makes for good discussions and hopefully makes all of us better players. Thank you to all who took the time to post their opinions.
