Would you call QQ here? How about KK?

After the bubble, yes with both Q/Q and KK. 4 out of the money I would have let that one go. odds say Q/Q against 3 other random hands wins 54%. And you know those aren't random hands. They're quality hands. The worst that's going to happen if you fold is 2 players are horribly crippled. The best, 2 are knocked out and you're 2 off the bubble. I only want to play PPs in a potentially crippling situation like that against one other player, maybe 2, unless it's A/A then I'll take on everybody. Against 1 other player, Q/Q jumps to 80% and sits at 64% against 2.

I think with K/K even though I don't like it, I probably would shove in there with them against those guys, as long as I knew they weren't super tight enough to only do that with A/A.

freerolls is about free money. You have to make the money to get some free money. At 36BB you were well positioned to do that as long as you didn't get crippled. I always say, don't get crippled at the bubble.

You cover everyone... Not only does QQ perform well here, even the times you lose you will not be out of the tournament. So imo you can't be folding this. JJ you could make a CASE for folding I think but QQ is just too strong.

In my case I can't fold QQ even AK as well.

Too bad. QQ's might call, and in the situation where you cover everyone x2/x3, definitely call.
But AK... Think KK and another AK/AA. You know you have premium hands there...
3/4 way allin, with AK... odds are not good. Hell someone might be trying to steal with 55, and you... no ace, no king... go bye bye. Remember... preflop 22 vs AK 51% - 49%.

I call without a doubt I can not pass a hand so strong that I can increase my stack.

Against 3 players is so hard to call that All-in, in the bubble I fold, you are most probably to have the best hand,but even having the best hand this is like coin flip that you don't need to play, you have still 33BB to get in the money!

I folded this hand as BB is a tight player and snap-called. I guess he would think for a second if it is JJ or AK.

BTN had 77, SB had TT and BB had AA

QQ is a strong hand and we cover our opponents.

I would definitely call here because we will be ahead here often.

Sometimes we will see someone table AA or KK but the majority of the time we are golden and will win the hand and have huge stack for a push at the win.

You want to amass chips to get to the top-3 where the real $ is and not just min cash in most instances.

I think it’s a call , I’d maybe fold even AK but would’ve called the QQ
