Folding QQ on bubble?

[BodyCount]

There is nothing right or wrong in this spot, it depends on what you are playing for. If the ultimate goal is the final table I would rather push.

 

[sergui72]

I will not reset. Why would I need a small stack later?

I wouldn't fold either, I really love this card.

 

[Bennoda]

depends on the turist on the postflop situation, on my stack and on the importance of the tournament sometimes I could, but more often I would not fold two queens

 

[Poker Orifice]

Coin flip is always 50 to 50. To reset and continue the game was the right decision.

gallora shows us here that poker is just one more thing he knows very little about. BUT I'm sure he'll make an argument for it, lol

 

[mouTAT]

I would shove it in the co if no one open before would be ideal if I cover the rest

Hi,

I recently played a live tournement (200€ buy-in, 235 players) and folded QQ on the bubble (26 paid).
I was on the button. Around 20BB deep and got dealt QQ. There is a raise from UTG who covers me but doesn't have that much more.
At this point we were all quite shallow anyway and most people were close to the push or fold mode. So with that in mind raise UTG, I put the guy on a very strong holding. So I decided to fold.
Then I asked the guy. He had AK... It would have been a flip.
I still think It was the right decision but I'm curious of what you think. Would you have done differently?
At the end I busted 14th with... QQ hahaha. Against AQ. The guy hit an As...

Standard situation in MTT Chipak takes advantage of the situation and shoves on eni. QQ is too strong a starting combo to pass. I am for the call, despite the short man.(88) 99+ push We throw out AK

In a live tournament, I would push. If the point was to get into the prizes, then you could fold the cards. But tournaments are not won like this. In an online game, this would be a favorite fold.

To me it depends on what cards come out on the flop. If there is an ace or king, you may want to fold the queens. I always seem to lose when I try to play those queens.

If I see a lot of aggression I would not hesitate to throw them can. If there is no aggression obviously if I would play them.

In my point of view, it was a very wise decision that required a lot of self-control. The bubble IS a big problem in the higher stakes tournaments. Good decision for me.

 

[denis_og79]

how much was the raise he made? I would call this raise to see the game post flop, and only then would I make a decision

 

[GRIN281289]

I think this is a good right decision.

 

[slicheri93]

Think there is nothing wrong with the fold, knowing know he had AK
and had 2 cards that can beat you, and folding QQ on the bubble is correct i think

Think KK their is a call though, but like you said people were in a push or fold spot so it would be suicide by calling off there and if you lost that would've hurt pretty bad.

I wouldve folded QQ aswell though, especially with that buy-in and the shortstacks being in the game still

I am never folding QQ to just a single open raiser. That's ridiculous that you folded.

 

[Jadeyt92]

QQs questions come up a lot kn cardchat. Mainly because its one of the toughest good hands to play... I have had bad runs with qqs all in. Only need that A or K to show and you know the rest.... For me now position is important and how many in the hand. If you flopping low cards then all in

 

[freestocks]

On the bubble yea I've folded. Also lost with aces on the bubble but can't fold that.

 

[Rvstam]

on the bubble i`m fold any cards . good for me only AA

 

[valanddon]

I would have gone all in because big stacks will bully hands on the
bubble to collect the blinds.

 

[Amanda A]

I would shove and probably bust. I call QQ my hand of death. Rarely do I win with it! I went out on the literal bubble of a MTT on ACR with KK yesterday when villain hit a flush. Could have folded into the money but just can't live with myself if I folded. As they say in Rounders, "Respect is all you'll have left in the morning". LOL

 

[pakyut]

For me, I will go all in.

 

[ammje]

If it is a tournament with big prizes, if I fold QQ KK and AA

 

[firerain]

I would fold QQs if the min cash is decent bump my bankroll (Won a sattie ticket).

I see why you folded, and your cashing made it the correct decision. I also see how this could have been the chance to jump significantly in your stack size in order to make a big push for the final table.

 

[pepomjp]

In that particular situation I folded too. The object is to get the money.
