Do I push pre-flop here? Both blinds have less than 13BB and I can avoid a tricky situation if UTG calls and A or K comes up on the flop.

No Limit Holdem Tournament
$3.00+$0.25
8 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG (5455)
UTG+1 (1245)
MP1 (5345)
MP2 (1850)
CO (7370)
Hero (BTN) (2865)
SB (1925)
BB (2630)

Blinds: 100/200

Pre-flop: (300, 8 players) Hero is BTN Q♦ Q♥
UTG calls 200, 4 folds, Hero raises to 1,000, 2 folds, UTG calls 800

Flop: 8♠ 8♥ 4♠ (2,300, 2 players)
UTG checks 1, Hero goes all-in 1,865, UTG calls 1,865

Turn: J♠ (6,031, 2 players)

River: 6♣ (6,031, 2 players)

Final Pot: 6,030
UTG shows: T♦ K♦
Hero shows: Q♦ Q♥

Hero wins 6,030 ( won +3,165 )
UTG lost -2,865

I like the raise more, but I'm not sure about this spot either =p

I prefer a raise here but would prob make it about 700. This looks like a button steal and will hopefully get one of the blinds playing back at you with a weaker hand.

I agree with this. As played flop is fine too.
