It's not easy, but I call here, and I don't think it's a terrible one.

Push call whatever it takes to get your chips out there.

We just covered QQ a few days ago. The question should be when NOT to push/call with QQ.

Why do you say that it's not an easy call? What better opportunity will he have to double up?

***edit:

oopsies, didn't realize there was a SS with 300. Even then, he's not guaranteed to win if the SS doubles up.

Yeah you have to call here. You actually have to call somewhat more liberally then normal here (not just TT+) since you aren't a lock to make the money if you fold. It looks you should be calling with 88+/AQ+ in this spot.

Yeah, I don't see when you'll have a shot this good in the next 2 orbits. Especially if he's laggy, I think this has a high expectation.

Easy call and it's not even close IMO. IF the shorty doubles up you are in trouble.

Folding here is terrible, again, IMO.
