Default $5.50 QQ is it a fold here?

BB is t300

MP1 (t3855)
MP2 (t1852)
CO (t1040)
Button (t1270)
SB (t4190)
Hero (t1895)
UTG (t898)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG raises to 898 (All-in), 2 folds, CO raises to 1040 (All-in), Button raises to 1270 (All-in), SB folds, Hero??

Pretty sweet pot to pick up and my stack is getting quite small. But with 3 players all in, it doesn't look that fancy or does it?

opponents are all super short and you're already in the BB for 300. They easily have overlapping cards so less Aces/kings to dodge [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. I get it in here in a heartbeat.

With 6 BB I think you can't fold here.
Call and be happy if you take down a huge pot [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

if this was on the bubble, you could fold and be like "lol folded QQ into the money yo"

however, even if two different people get knocked out, you are still 5 handed. You easily are +EV here. UTG is tiny-stacked and could be pusing sooooper wide, and CO and Button's ranges are probably tighter but not so tight you should fold QQ You'll see plenty of Ax-AK and mid pp's from them.

I agree with everyone here. This is a very standard call. Rarely will one of them or two flip over KK/AA. Probably AJ-AK for one, middle pair of 44-88 for one, and probably some crappy suited stuff for the other, KQs-J10s like hand. I think you're fine to call here, even if you lose you've got a 'little' bit of chips left to shove/play around with.

Actually, they pay you money for third place, and I like money, so third is not so bad.
