($6): QQ bubble v. all-in

[Pokey]

Four people left in the tournament, with me as the second-shortest stack and UTG. Set-up:

Pokey t1450 UTG
Button t2670
SB t325
BB t3555

Blinds are t50 and t100.
Pokey gets Q /images/graemlins/club.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif, raises to t325.
Button folds, SB folds.
BB reraises all-in.

BB started tourney tight and passive but became gradually looser and more aggressive as things progressed. By this point, he was playing 30% of his hands and raising with 10% of them.

So: easy call, easy fold, or tough choice?

All I can tell u is that I cant come with an answer wihtout ICMing this

Any reads on BB? How did he get his stack (in 2 or 3 hands where he showed down solid cards or with lots of gambooling?)...also, has he been bullying or not?

I think it's a call all the way. He is trying to bully you out, and you are catching him with a hand.

I think I would raise all-in right away. I mean is there anything good that will happen because u raised 375 instead?

At this point in the tournament (35ish hands in) he had won a grand total of four hands: T2s hit for t235, A8o hit for t250, KJo got him t1435, and K7s netted t1655. He certainly hadn't been throwing his stack around -- this was his first preflop all-in bet. Of course, with as quickly as SnGs progress, none of this really tells us much. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I wanted SB all-in, ideally without risking my entire stack. When he folded and BB reraised me all-in, the plan had kinda backfired....
