    Default $5.50 satelitte hand.. opinions?

    19 players are left.16 places pay a seat into a $175 double shootout.

    Your stack is 20,000. The blinds are at 4000/8000/400 ante

    Your stack is 10 of 19, with 4 people with less than 8000, and 4 with just under 15,000.

    You are in the big blind, 8000 posted, and you have QQ. The chip leader, 110k minraises, it folds to you. What do you do and why? Do you fold, post the SB of 4000 and fold it leaving yourself 8000 behind and hope that at least 3 more people go bust in an orbit?

    Someone help me, because I am thinking one thing, but my friends are saying another, and I REALLY strongly feel my play is right. What is YOUR play?

    fold, and it isn't close. You should fold AA here. Your friends suck (I hope). Not only is there a reasonable chance you'll get a seat just from people AI in the blinds, people do goofy things all the time.

    You have to fold here. You're not playing to win the damn thing just to place in the top 16. With that many stacks shorter than you, you have a great chance of folding your way into the top 16.
