Wow, really folding Brendan? I couldn"t get it in fast enough, with QQ and 14BBs, if I am beat so be it, but a great opportunity to really get back in the mix.

.....and I hate folding

Fold for me as well.  Taking into account reasons listed above and some other factors such as stack sizes, bet amounts and position.  As we have no reads some times you have to take things on face value. You have to ask yourself what do we know ?

First of all we are late in a deepstack mtt probably around 800 runners and near the money. Being deepstack there is more of a chance better players are left. The opener is opening from early into the whole table and into a whole load of re shove stacks. So with no previous reads of opening light that looks strong.

The hj is basically saying am going with this and as said before i think he re shoves everything you beat and 3 bets what has you in trouble. He is basically polarizing his range here. It looks super strong with no previous reads.

As for the button  :o  whatever he has it"s a lemon.

Yes we have QQ but everything about this situation stinks of trouble.  I have made this call before and it"s the classic i knew i was behind i should have folded spot.

Depends on your money situation.... if you need to cash, then I think it"s reasonable to fold here so close to the bubble..... but if playing for the win, I"m going to struggle to fold QQ with only 13x behind and a big pot in the middle.

I think I"m shoving here most of the time.

Does the fact that you are 5 from the bubble cause you to think differently? If so, how would you play this if the bubble had just burst.......?

Exactly this.....fold everything or shove....depends what u want...min cash or a shot at the ft

Shove, get called by Ax, ace on flop/river, groan, go to bed

I haven"t seen one good reason to fold yet
