Default from hero to zero...

All right, first a little about me. I've been playing the $5+1 and 10+1 SNG at Party for about 4 months. I'm down about $60 over that time, been basically break even the last 2 months. I think I'm getting better with more experience plus reading this forum. I dropped back down to a 5+1 yesterday, been playing only the 10+1 the last 6 weeks or so. The table I get on has perhaps the 9 most passive players at one table I've ever seen. I'm winning a lot of smaller pots by min raise pre flop and pot size or min bet after the flop. I'm not going crazy stealing but winning one good hand per round, roughly. For once I feel like I'm the best player at the table. Now the hand in question:
I'm on the button with about T1600. The blinds are 50 and 100, and each has about T1100. UTG is short stack with about T650. The player to my right has just doubled up to about T1800. UTG goes all in. Player x with about T1000 folds. Big stack folds. I have QQ. Would anyone choose to fold here even if they thought they have the best hand rather than play a big pot? My feeling was that UTG was short stack and could have any pair or any big cards. I am a big underdog to AA or KK, a coin flip to AK, and a pretty good favorite over almost any other hand. I'll give the result since I don't think it affects my basic question, I went all in to keep the blinds from playing. She has KQo and catches the K on the flop to double up.

Thanks
Doug
