MTT tournament 585 prizes. You're 587 people. I have one of the smallest stacks 48 thousand chips and cards QQ. One of the leaders of the chip is raised to 70 thousand. I called. Who else would have thrown these cards?

Hey dont hesitate, All in is your only chance. You dont mentioned the size of the Blinds but having one of the smallest stacks, this is a vnh to do it. :jd4:

You're not going to find many people who would throw away QQ, and if there is someone here who would, I would love to read what they have to say.
If this was a satellite where folding would mean a chance at getting a seat to a bigger game then folding is a good option, but if you're just trying to make the bubble to profit just pennies then push/call that type of all-in all day:).

The blinds were 1500/3000. I was in the small blind. The guy with the big stack is constantly stealing blinds. I thought it was a good chance to double stack

It was a great chance to double up. Don't play for min cash. If u end up losing, well, it was a cooler, but all in there every day and night.

ps: as mentioned, the only spot where u could fold this is a satellite tourney when waiting will get u to the ticket.

It was not a satellite and cash tournament with a buy another $0.11. Starting with the 585 seats began with the payment of the bonus area $0.14. In the first place paid about $42. I lost this guy and took 587 place. The guy had AK. Some players take off the bubble in virtually any card that would get to the prize-winners. QQ good cards that would throw them on the preflop. Maybe it's my fault and not on the bubble to go all in?

Not a bad play unless you're really concerned about finishing just ITM, if you wanna run deeper though you need to chip up and seemed like a reasonable spot to get it in.

Unless I was playing way outside of my BR taking a shot I would never fold the QQ here , making the bubble and getting 1.7x-2x your buyin back does not mean a lot to your BR in the long run. But if you were to double or triple up here and run hot you could get much deeper or even reach the FT. We play Mtts to reach top 3 because that is where all the money is ! Sure it won't happen that often but you have to gamble sometimes to give yourself the best chance !

it was a good call and qq is a good hand for a short stack to try to double up

The risk is always there. I think I did the right thing. In tournaments with big prizes will not risk on the bubble. Play will only AA, everything else fold

Very often in this case who first made all-in even had Ace high pocket hand.
So your QQ often beating by King or Ace are at the table.
But there is no other chances to double up except with pocket QQ in your situation. So you made all right.
