Default (22 reg) Bubble Hand - I dont make standard play right?

PartyPoker Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t7089)
Button (t2144)
Hero (t8262)
BB (t2505)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t900</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t8062</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, CO calls t6189

I'm not a good enough player to fold QQ here... its standard to fold QQ here right?

Nope its standard to re raise all in here. Why would you want to fold?

Folding QQ here would be a monstrous leak (without an absolutely great read).

This is a really easy hand to check out on SNGPT. Do your homework and come back here with any questions. I could tell you the answer (based on my best guess at villians range of hands) but it would make you a better player to work it out for yourself. Better yet, get out the calculator, pen and paper use this little sucker

and do it old school. While you are at it, figure out not only if you should call with this hand, but what is the lowest possible hand you should call with based on your best guess at villians range of hands. Now, change up villians range to be very tight or very loose. Repeat. This is how you get better at ICM bubble decisions, which are the single most important thing in STT's.
