QQ in the bubble
 

He had aces, which held up. Short stack must have been salivating, but i have a poor ratio of thirds and seconds to firsts, and figured this was an obvious spot to gamble. Thoughts?

Re: QQ in the bubble
 

Given the overlay in the pot and the fact that shorty still has 7xBB, I think you're happy against anything including AKs. You're especially happy since BB most likely called w/ Ax, killing one the button's cards if he's moving all-in w/ big slick.

Given that, the only hands you fear are AA and KK. If Villain has those hands, you type 'nh' and open up another SNG.

I think the raise from the SB is fine. You don't want to completely kill action w/ QQ on the bubble . . .
