You are looking for ways to play it differently and not go broke. All I am saying is that if you are willing to put in so many BB's with just QQ preflop. It is a leak.
Exactly. Although it's possible that OP would still go broke here, the idea is that raising from 400 to 15000 with QQ preflop is never the right play. Raise to 1600 or something, and if the original raiser comes over the top, you might be able to get away from the hand. If he just calls, you can practice pot control on the flop, turn, etc.
Just because there's the possibility of going broke (and I could go broke with QQ on a 669 flop too, in some circumstances) doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion. Playing a bit more cautiously will minimize your losses when you have the worst hand, and could maximize your profits when you have the better hand.
Even if the villain had AK, do you want to race for stacks when you have 75 BB?
