Because of the way you worded it you've practically posted the results (villain has AA, right?).

Despite the limp/rr it's a $0.50 vs a random, I'm not folding.

You have 16 big blinds here. QQ with 16 big blinds needs to be played no matter what.

You don't really want to look at BB here in terms of tournament play, you would be much better off looking at the M, which is BB+SB+Antes(number of seats at the table). That will give you the cost of how much each round is costing you. In this case, Hero is at a little over 7 M, so without blinds going up, he would be blinded/anted out in 7 rounds.

Never folding that, you already put in 1150 and have 3.6k left behind. He doesn't have to have AA or KK. I dont think id fold in any situation here preflop.

no i dont fold it. i do think that QQ still has a 20% chance of hitting a queen preflop. or winning against higher pockets. I love a good race.
