Absent a read on BB, this is a tough decision.

The good news is there are only two hands you're behind.

The pot odds + this being a low buy-in = I call.

this is a turbo tourney. range of hands is huge.

push when it gets back to you

don't even think of hitting anything besides the 'call' button

We have QQ, why are we trying to find a fold?

Calling here is terrible. Minus any read, this is an easy re-raise all-in. If you just call, you are giving the cold-caller in between the odds to also call the bet. Then what do you do when an ace flops? You have to isolate now when you are most likely ahead.

Easy repush. This is far from a tough decision.

The fact it's a turbo tournament makes this an even bigger no brainer but in a regular tournament I wouldn't think twice about pushing.
