O8 sit n go.
down to 5 players. The blinds are 200-400. You have the button and are second in chips. The sb is third in chips. The BB has $445 before posting the BB.
It folds to you. Your hand QQ 4 5, one suit. I raised to isolate the BB. The sb folded the BB called with 99 6 2 and caught a 9 high flush. The sb criticized my raise. |

IMO, I'd just call, let the SB call, and see the flop together.
I don't see a need to isolate when the SS barely has enough for the BB. |

| When you say, 2nd in chips, how much? If I had more than 3200 or so, I'd probably do the exact same thing. Unless the SB was extremely LAG. If that were the case, I'd fold. QQ45 is garbage, but playable for a virtually capped 2 bets and an opportunity to knock out a player. It was fine IMO. |

I started the hand with 3970 in chips. (I actually may have been chipleader at the time, not sure.)
I figured the only thing thats calling is A2, and I'm getting raised by AA and KK so I can fold. |
