I am 10 spots away from the money.  Should I call, shove, or fold??

At these stakes and this late in a tournament you're never folding queens.

I'm pretty happy to just 4-bet shove it in here. Considering there's ~23K in the pot and you have about 38K left just picking up this pot is a substantial increase to you're stack, and he'll often call off with a hand like JJ's or TT's which you dominate, or Ak in which case you're flipping. Given his rather large 3-bet i rarely put KK's or AA's in his range since most people at these stakes raise alot smaller to try and get some action.

Just my two cents though, i'd like to hear other opinions..

You have queens vs a spaz, isnt this the spot you were hoping for?

I'd jam there. I think there is a solid chance he is either screwing around with you because of the bubble if he is reasonably aware, or he is probably in the 55+, ATo+  given his stats (not a ton of hands so I am willing to think he is a spaz at this point, because it is too much for card racking, but not enough for a really solid picture) and overplaying the hell out of his hand. I jam and cooler the crap out of him, enjoy the chips and turn it into a run 🙂

For those who are interested, here's how the hand turned out:

TournamentPokerEdge.com Hand History Converter

Hero (UTG): BB = 21.7, t43415
JIN_QC (UTG+1): BB = 51.9, t103852
Timeinabotl (UTG+2): BB = 24.1, t48223
fenomenomor (MP1): BB = 19.0, t38045
t_pontes53 (MP2): BB = 11.0, t21947
Gombrowicz2 (CO): BB = 31.1, t62289
el10go83 (BTN): BB = 23.1, t46104
stathis1707 (SB): BB = 117.3, t234566
juanclubriva (BB): BB = 69.0, t138060

Pre Flop: (t5250) Hero is UTG with Q of clubs Q of spades
Hero raises to t4600, 4 folds, Gombrowicz2 raises to t14000, 3 folds, Hero raises to t43165 all in, Gombrowicz2 calls t29165

Flop: (t91580) 4 of diamonds 7 of hearts A of diamonds (2 players – 1 is all in)

Turn: (t91580) 4 of clubs (2 players – 1 is all in)

River: (t91580) 3 of spades (2 players – 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t91580
Hero shows Q of clubs Q of spades (two pair, Queens and Fours)
Gombrowicz2 shows K of clubs K of diamonds (two pair, Kings and Fours)
Gombrowicz2 wins t91580

 

 

I almost folded, but then figured QQ was too strong to fold, especially since we were on the bubble and he could've just been bullying me.  After
they flipped up KK, I thought it might have been a bad play. 

Thanks for all the advise!
