Shorty is SB. Hero is Button. So, no.

If you're sure, I guess I'm reading the HH wrong then. Because it looks to me like shorty will be button next hand if he folds.

If raiser is loose, take advantage of him. You're about to lose t225, and this is possibly the best hand you'll see on the bubble. Waiting for small stack to get knocked out is a bit too passive--go for double now. Push.

folding QQ at low buyins is real questionable. Folding QQ with <10xBB to a loose raiser is horrible. Slide the bar and bet.

I think you are missing the point. I know I have the best hand... it is just that there is a ridiculously short stack out there.

yeah my bad, I thought he has 1124. I thought something was a bit to easy about this. You have to fold this I think. Doubling up doesn't gaurentee anything better than third which you are almost gaurenteed now if you fold.

I'd sigh and fold, shortie is far too short. Even if you know 100% you've got the 80-20 I still fold.

...math anyone?

Present equity calculation assuming the prize pool is $200:
8
84
64
45

Against a range of 22-AA, AKs-A2s, AKo-A8o, QQ is 70% to win, which leads to equity of

7
83
52
61

61*.7=42.7

42.7<45

Fold

------------------------------------------------------------

I also did the calculations with KK. It turns out the equity with calling with KK is only 45.75-- barely +EV

Of course, what I have for Villain's range may not be the same as everyone elses
