DYM Bubble Play - Just put it down as a cooler, or can I get away

Thoughts anyone, with other 2 players with 2,540 between them this was a gift to them. Even so with < 10 bb's can I fold?

To be fair I knew Chillie must have a real hand to raise in this spot, he'd been playing well and i didnt think he would be stealing in this spot.  

DYM strategy takes a bit of adjusting to.

    You did nothing wrong. If you'd folded the queens you'd be making a mistake tbh, unless your opponent is REALLY tight.

    Its horrible to do, but it has to be a fold. the other guys have 2,500 between them, so thats roughly an average of 3BB each! it's all about survival in DYM, when there is two shorties on the bubble, then i am certainly not looking to go anywhere near the big stack.

    Obviously in no other situation would u fold the queens, but here even if it was aces, i would prob still fold, as there is no advantage of taking on the other guy. 3rd is the same as 1st, its not winner takes it all.

    Yh has to be a fold 2540 between them, wish you could say EXACT stacks as if one has like 600 it's obvz snap fold but either way one has to have about 1200 so yep fold for me.

    I would flat the min raise & fold flop, only because its a DYM & 2 shorties at the table.

    Bet the short stacks were p***ing there selves after that action :)

    In Response to Re: DYM Bubble Play - Just put it down as a cooler, or can I get away:
    dont get it if ya folding queens sb v bb that means your prepared to get blinded out what better opportunity to make top 3 now instead of a grind i know ya wnat action from other players and basically dnt play a hand and cash it dont work like that tho i think qq sb v bb play itself here easy to say now fold when u see the cards but i think most people in this situation woul lose there chips

    Sorry but wrong wrong wrong... it's a DYM and if you fold you've got 2 people are gonna be forced all-in soon and if one doesnt lose, the other one probably will so there's no need to take a race against the chip leader. Even if he has  AK for a flip or even if he has 78s, you do not need to take this risk at all.
