Default 22 turbo: Tough bubble decision

Blind 200/400

Small Blind: post 200 (5,855)
Big Blind (hero): post 400(5,270)
Button: (1,880)
Cut Off: (495)

Folds to Small Blind who shoves

Can hero call the Small Blinds shove with QQ knowing the small blind is pushing any two cards? What is good calling range in this spot?

If he's pushing any two you can profitably call with TT+

I'd probably do JJ+ unless I was absolutely sure he was doing any two.

At a $22 I might fold it because I can't be absolutely sure that the SB is good enough to push ATC unless of course I know more about him/her.

If he pushes ATC it's +EV to call, allthough if he "only" pushes 65% its mariginally +EV, so i'd just fold here and wait for better spots.

fold and wait for a better spot. You still have over 10BB and CO is going to blind out next hand (or double up).

Call with KK and AA only.

Your position here is very good and you can push ATC any time the guy to your right folds - perfect pwning situation, I wouldnt want to go out here.

Also very few have the nerve to push ATC here, if I knew he had a solid grasp of ICM and was being very agressive this may swing a call (only maybe -id have to run the figures) - this is beacuse he should be difficult heads up.

Anyhow, my point is Id take a small edge against a solid player where Id fold against a donk because I can outplay the donk later.

Sounds like a strategy to cash.

Folding QQ if villain is capable of pushing any two here is a HUGE mistake. 2.3% of the prize pool or $4.50 in equity. If villain is only plushing 65% it is +1%. Calling here is still marginally +EV if he is pushing 52%. So this is a very very easy call against anyone with even half a clue on how to play the bubble.

JJ is closer, he needs to be pushing 75% or better to make that a call.

I'm don't know how to crunch any numbers but I'm not folding Q's. You can easily win 1st if your queens hold up.
