EDIT: Raiser is loose, the large but non allin raise makes me think his hand is weak... maybe a small PP.

Usually large raises means he dosetn want actoin = small PP. This is especially an all in cause you only have 820 chips!! auto 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.

With that short stack present it makes this a fold that has to be done. If he has an A or a K then it's a gamble i don't want to take untill that 4th place stack is out or bigger.

Why not play for 1st? 800 isn't too little to be giving up on that opportunity.

Mistaken

If you fold here you're pretty much folding both of your blinds. If they go up again before you post you're basically guaranteeing yourself 3rd if not worse because the SB could win a showdown.

I would push here. JJ I would think about, TT I would fold.

If I'm reading the HH correctly, (somebody fix/update the converter!), the blinds will hit you again before the shortstack is forced all in. I think QQ is too good to fold vs. a loose raiser in this instance. This is a good spot to increase your chance for 1st and 2nd. I would push.
