This was against some random in the weekly FTP 100 rebuy. I felt like although he probably was dumb enough to shove pocket pairs here, he’d raise most of them pre-flop. I felt like random diamonds, often with a dominated Ace, or just Ace-high would be his most likely holding. Didn’t even consider this, but I guess it suggests he could at least show up with like AJ here:

Full Tilt Poker, NL Hold’em Tournament, 50/100 Blinds, 6 Players

Hero (BB): 5,000
UTG: 7,430
MP: 5,026
CO: 8,530
BTN: 1,773
SB: 4,741

Pre-Flop: (150) Q A dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG folds, MP calls 100, 3 folds, Hero raises to 500, MP calls 400

Flop: (1,050) T T 3 (2 Players)
Hero bets 666, MP raises to 4,526 and is All-In, Hero calls 3,834 and is All-In

Turn: (10,050) 7 (2 Players – 1 is All-In)

River: (10,050) J (2 Players – 1 is All-In)

Results: 10,050 Pot
Hero showed Q A (a pair of Tens) and LOST (-5,000 NET)
MP showed K A (a pair of Tens) and WON 10,050 (+5,050 NET)

Also, if he does have a small pair, note that I have some backdoor outs, including a flush and a running pair that would counterfeit him. Those probably add up to almost 5% extra equity and were definitely a consideration.
