If this were a high buyin and blinds know that you have a monster to push here then I think its a push, since it's a 6.50 I would fold. I'm not sure on this though

I think ICM and some the SNG programs advocate folding this. If the button folds, and you get called by either blind, and lose, you're out. Missing the money. I just don't know if I can ACTUALLY lay down QQ here with only 5 BBs.

that's totally my problem with this hand
I push this the whole day cuz it's well.. it's the queens..
eventhough I know, mathematically pushing MUST be wrong here.

This hand aside, if you want to win the most money you need to play by the numbers not by how good of a hand you have. I'm sure you're aware of this though. When I make a tough fold on the bubble I feel good about it.

Something definitely being worked on, haha.

Anyone calling here, seeing if button gets all-in, then calling an all-in PF or shoving any flop?

It would make me sick but i would fold ,you are garanteed to be ITM 99% of the time if u fold and thats all u have to worry about on the bubble. I wonder if it s such an obvious push if u had AA on that spot.I would not fold AA thought but probably fold KK also (is it to weak??)any thought would be appreciated.
I would almost never call.

this was actually my hand and we've been debating back and forth. here's the thread, with an animated HH and my rationale for folding, for everyone to take a look:
