    Pretty sure this is a fold. Looks good to see queens, but the 4 bet means more than likely you're behind here.

    If the money means nothing to you, fold. If the money super means something to you, call. (weird logic, ino)

    You have 2 preflop hands that crush you, but something is telling me your chipleader wants to chip-up via aggression early.

    If you run into AA here, GG, but w/e.

    I agree that a 4bet here is pretty strong, but really, what is talas' range? It can't just be KK and AA, in fact, I think its rarely KK and AA. Wouldn't KK or AA raise to 780 - 920 or so?

    I'm thinking this is almost always a 66- JJ and AK. However, with that said, I think Jooly-joolz probably has the strongest range here, so I really don't know. I think I'm folding too, but really, you are probably ahead.

    NOTE: I have had some pretty decent success at STTs, but I don't play them much anymore because its too difficult to avoid all the regs. I played $5-10 STTs though, and I know that STTs typically have stronger average fields compared to most other multitable sngs.
