I would agree with Raptor. This situation might be different if someone was below ~800 but right now you're not guarantted anything. Even a reasonable player could push with JJ, 1010, AK, AQ on the bubble. You're only scared of KK and AA and while he MIGHT have one of those two hands - I'm betting he has one of those two less than 1/2 the time - making this a +EV call for you.

Weak.

Gotta push.

Thanks for the comments. I agree my fold was very weak and actually I even surprised myself by folding there. I have been running very bad lately, and I just did not want to bust out of the money here. I understand this is the wrong thinking. But for what its worth, the very next hand the short stack busted out. And I did end up winning this tourney.

This is EXACTLY why u are running badly. Folding QQ leads to getting broke. Go back and read the posts by irieguy and gigabet. I lost over 20 buyins in about 50 tournaments yesterday, and it was almost relieving. Because the 200 tournaments before that i had a 50% ROI-- and had trouble sleeping because of so much money. I'd never made that kind of money before is such a short period of time. I slept very well last night after that significant loss. If u wanna know actual number look in white below....

Easy push. There are few instances when maybe you should fold, but they are very few.
