I found myself in pretty much the same spot in a similar set up tourney last night and I thought of this post before I made my play. 20 from the bubble, $4 min pay out, I had played with a free ticket and had 2BB, compared to seem monster stacks behind me. Player in pos 2 flat called. My choices with QQ was fold or all in. I considered all of the above advice, including my own, and the fact that a couple of players on the table had previosuly flat called in early psoition with monster hands, and duly folded.
3 hands later , ITM, and 5x my stack, then doubled it in the next hand, (still only 10BB) then lost it all in with 99 v A4 some hands later with blinds eating at me.
I'm sitting here now thinking I should not have folded my QQ, which incidentally would have beaten the hand that won that one and would probably have had me at about 15BB when my 99 came which I then wouldn't have gone all in with....... Who knows.
I do wonder whether I would now be feeling smug if the guy in pos 2 had flat called with AA and knocked me out so close to the bubble!
In life (poker) we makes our choices and have to live by them!

Your fold are ok against two all in-guys nearly the itm positions. You are the sb and have the next orbit to see what happened and reach the itm positions and than you can ship all in with your rest of blinds.

If you only had 2 BBs then it is not similar at all.. Also you were 20 out from the bubble. I think Teddybears' situation was right on the bubble and he had a very large stack and made a choice not to put himself at risk until it had popped... You had NO choice with only 2BBs left but to shove with your QQ.

Sorry, I was probably drunk posting that. I apologise, my comments were truly uncalled for, I really can't justify what I said, since you're a nice person and made an honest post.
