The tournament in the poker school, the final table of the tournament
I did not risk it because there were many short stacks and made the fold
Your actions in such a situation, fold or call
The opponent is aggressive

In this situation, I would simply fold!
It's better to sit out other opponents at the final table!
Aggressive player - this does not mean that there should be no trust to him!
He can go out with AA ... so you did it right!

I would never have folded a hand like QQ in such a situation)) especially since your stack is only 14 bb and this is a turbo tournament. By the way, which place did you end up in and what was your last Hand in the tournament?

With an aggressive opponent it's probably a call however it is ICM nightmare with the shorter stacks there

aggression is not relevant here, loose-tight is.
if the villain is tight: sure fold in this situation
if the villain is loose: you are likely favorite, coin flip at worst
+ good option to double up
- sitting out may get you further

With 2BB and 3BB stack in play you should call tighter than usual, but queens are still too strong to fold, and if you win the hand you have a big chip lead and very good situation to win the tournament.

Well,
I would call, because there is always poker tomorrow if I loose.


BUT, if the payouts gap is higher than 1k, I would reconsider and fold.


It depends on how the money affect my bankroll and my situation.

With the player being aggressive and you in the small blind, generally a call would be good; depending on who else played the hand of course. You are 2nd last to act after all

However with this being a final table it would all depend on on how healthy your bank roll is and what the payout structure is. Would potentially going out now (8th place) versus placing better affect your bankroll much is the question I would ask myself.

In this case, short of a 4th place or better finish substantially increasing my bankroll, I would call.

At first, I was thinking pocket queens pre-flop, get it in. Now that I see that it is the final table with the 3rd largest stack, there is a good chance I that folding would be the correct play. If jenyas was playing extremely loose, there is also a good chance that I wouldn't be able to hold it back. You are probably better off picking your spots with the shorter stacks, and if the chip leader is playing too wild, letting somebody else take the chance.

This is a $ 20 freeroll, of course easy call.
Only if the league points are important you can pass.

yeah. I agree with him. and what I observed is QQ often beats AA in many cases.

Abandoning a hand like this is not the best option, doubling the bet with this pair makes aggressive players see you as a candidate to win a tournament,

I'd answer his bid and maybe double my stack. The enemy puts pressure on us to their stack, not the fact that he has a strong hand. It's a Freeroll and nothing to lose. You have already earned good points at the final table.

As for me, this is a stupid question. No offense... There's an obvious call!
