I gave it serious thought. Maybe I was being too paranoid about AA/KK.
Does the Oaks hold $540s regularly, or was this a special occasion?
They have a weekly Sunday NL (with points race or something for a WSOP freeroll) and Wednesday limit. Saturdays are a once-every-month or every two months thing. It looks like the next one is a $330 on April 7th. I believe they've done $330s before, but this may have been the first $540.
Do you call with some hands and raise with others? Sometimes I like to see flops with QQ. I'm not super comfortable calling with QQ initially and then calling again when someone else jams. (Is that too weak?)
What about the plan of calling with QQ and bigger pairs (sometimes), and then folding the weakest [whatever] percentage of that distribution to a jam behind? Would calling with some big hands strip too much strength out of the distribution you'd want to jam with initially? Or do you leak too much info by splitting between calling and jamming?
With three other players going limp, raise, reraise, and the last reraise being almost a quarter of my stack, there are no hands with which I call. I'm either jamming or folding. I'm not sure how deep we'd have to be before I'd consider a call on this action, but it's much deeper than this - I hate giving 2UTG a cheap flop.
(For that matter if I'm strong enough to act, I also hate giving SB a free flop. If we're deep enough that call/fold might be sane, then we're deep enough that jamming might get everyone to fold. That's a big advantage.)

I need to get better at no-limit.
