27: Tough bubble spot AQs with shorty in SB

[NotSoFarOff]

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Converter messed up, but whatever. SB and BB are solid regs. Button has been pretty passive but walked into some big hands during the bubble.

Button (t6870)
SB (t960)
BB (t3800)
Hero (t1870)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, A
Does hero fold here?

Hm, this looks like a push. It's not like SB is in BB w/ 150 stack. He can fold this hand even if you don't push and still have 1bb stack.

[Bronstein]

Suppose you fold and SB doubles (50% chance). Then you're BB and really in trouble.
But when you push and get called with an A or KT for example you're still fine.
Add the fact that BB migt fold and the push is obvious.
