Default PP $22- QQ on bubble.

PartyPoker, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t422)
Button (t4450)
SB (t1555)
Hero (t1573)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t4450 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero?


I dont have SNGPT (yet) so Im coming here for advice. I really hate to fold Q's but am I right for thinking I should?
And what about KK here?
Big stack has been using it well on the bubble.
I think blinds went up in 5 hands.

If you know hes pushing 100% of hands, the calling range is TT+.

If hes pushing 50% of hands, its QQ+.

If hes pushing any ace, any pair, and any cards over ten, which seems to be most big stacks, then its KK+

I would call here. You have to win about 73% of the time and QQ is close to 80% against a random hand and &gt; 74% against the top 50%. He has to be pushing pretty tight to make this a fold. Something like the top 35% or less.

He wasnt pushing 100%. Of the 6 bubble hands he pushed 3 of them. Didnt show any. I ended up taking shorty out after he folded. I guess it still looks like I can call here though.

You have &lt;10BB. You don't have the luxury of wondering of he has KK or AA.

Its not that Im afraid of AA or KK it is the chance that the short stack will bust out since he has 2BBs left. I thought that since he was so short I shouldnt take a 75/25 chance here, but my numbers dont really have any meaning behind them. Which is why I asked here.
