The only problem with the hand is the fact you took your time to call. Once you 3 bet its a snap call!!! If you want to win tournaments then you have to call with QQ in this situation every time.
Let's not forget this was the bubble - not only does it widen LyonsBob's openning range but it means he should be less likely to shove AA/KK for value as he should be scared of losing his customer. Call as played I say.
If I'm honest, I'd made the decision that I was gonna shove to any reraise with the QQ defore I'd made the initial re-raise. Looking back on it I guess the reraise was actually a plan to induce the shove so it actually worked! All except for the Ace hitting on the flop!
Nice and concise, I may have to use it as a template in the future
Only thing missing is your Stack, am going to guess around 35bbs.
I think for all the reasons you describe so well, either a call or fold is fine IMO. Depends what the money means to you, what you feel your edge/potential is vs seats.
If you feel strongly its a flip, you can elect not to take it. Its not a cash hand, its a T money bubble where our roi is going to be 1500% base for min cash.
In pots like these where the decision process is drawn out, its usually a fold, more for reasons outside of the game. ie BR - which doesnt have to be a bad thing. Even against a bare A we lose 1/3.
So will be on the fence and say either is fine. If the money is immaterial, its a snap though.
Easy to say we oughtnt to think about the money, but silly not to when we have satd in and can take a decent BR jump
