Default Re: Sometimes SNGs aren\'t poker: Open-Folding QQ 3-Handed?

FWIW:
SNGPT (using Party6Max structure, which has same payout)

When BB calling range is 0% and
SB's calling range is:
Top 20%: 88+, AT+
Top 40%: QQ+
100%: QQ+

If pushing > folding > losing 200-600 chips to the reraise when you have to puke the hand how is this not a push?

I'm clearly in the minority and there are multiple posters whose opinions I respect very much who say a smallish raise is best. What am I missing? Does the value of forcing the BB to effectively "fold" without getting his blind back enough to make giving up the chips better than both the folding and pushing options?
