I fold in this spot.. you fold still have 20+ BB, against 2 all ins think at least one has AA/KK ..maybe call if it was HU.

Don"t have any mate, just that there were a couple of aggro players at table but these 2 were pretty tight, though bapsilva lost half his stack not long before this with 2 pairs.

I would definitely call, and given that it is Poker stars one or both will have AK , there will be one or the other and you will river a Q.

No charge for the info

I agree with this, I often find it hard to fold the ladies when there are two all ins, in a middle or late stage tourny,but in the Big 8.80 people arn"t going to mess around with A2 I don"t think.

it"s best to fold here. gl!

I think the hand is too strong compared to your stack size to fold.

Only paranoia is going to make people assume one of them has AA or KK, even tight people are shoving in this spot with high Aces and mid to high pairs. You"re in good shape against almost all of their combined range and great shape against a fair proportion of it.

Having said that, it"s relative, I think you"re looking at being around and slightly less than 50% to win the hand - but at this stage with that stack size and the potential stack size you"ll have if the QQ holds I think you need to call if you"re serious about trying to get a final table or top 3 finish

Insta-call.

I think some people are vastly overestimating the standard of players on Stars in a small buy-in big field tourney if they think one of them must have AA/KK or that they couldn"t have ace rag. Wouldn"t surprise me in the least if they turned over A-J suited and pocket fives, or worse!

Given the top heavy nature of the payout and the chance to treble your stack you may as well fold pre if you"re looking at folding here.
