Default QQ on the bubble - You make the call.

I am in the midst of a 27 buy-in downswing at the 55s and it has really shaken me up. I'm actually going to take some time off and come back to the nice warm 33s. Anyways, what do you do here:

Reads: WiggumVBH is fairly loose and thekid64 has been tight for a big stack.

DINOMYYYTE ??

EDIT - This is a 55.

ICM may say fold, but I play for 1st in this spot. Even if he has been tight, I still come over the top all in and if I finish 4th, I break another pen on my desk and load up another SnG.

Folding sucks and ICM is probably wrong when it says to fold here. However, this is one of those times where it's at least feasible to just call if you think the BB will overcall.

With no read, just push it.

PS, maybe a fold if small stack has 100 or 200 chips but he has enough that you are not sure to finish ITM if you fold this. He doubles up once and he is still in the game.

More than that, there will be no A or K on the flop about 2/3 of the time, and there will be times when a Q flops with one of those two ranks. You have position for the rest of the hand, and your equity is likely to change dramatically given the flop. I don't know if it's the right play, but it's certainly a viable option I think.

My normal read on this 5x raise is that he is very weak. I think there is actually a good chance he folds here. Move in definitely.
