Default $27 Q8s 300/600 Bubble Call

Villain is a known good player and has shoved at least 3 or so orbits from UTG in the bubble. The button and SB esp the SB are huge nits. 2 blinds left if I fold, do you like this call?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t1935)
UTG (t2070)
Button (t4895)
SB (t4600)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t2020</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t1285 (All-In).

Gamble baby. Without running any numbers assuming he's pushing around 40% with the blind about to hit him, I'd prob call 22+ A2+ K5s+ K7o+ Q6s+ Q8o+ JTs.

If you fold you're going to have to win 2-3 showdown hands to make the money. If you call here you only have to win one.

snap call w/ 600 in and 1400 behind. I pretty much call off close to ATC is this spot vs someone opening wide when I'm pretty far behind all the other stacks.

Stupidly big blinds and no chips left, call and hope to be live. He's probably ahead but you need to gamble now.
