    Default Step1 SNG on Fulltilt, on 1st bubble w QQ facing 3bet?

    Here's a bubble spot in a Step1 SNG on Fulltilt (the ~$3 buyin where Top2 get Step2, 3rd-5th gets Step1). I'm actually doing a personal challenge to put together a bunch of Step3 tickets/tokens (or whatever they call them now), where my initial buyin is $26 & will see how many $26 tokens I can win with it (my last challenge like this, I invested $50 & managed to get 8 $26tokens).

    With two bubble spots in the Step SNG's it alters our play a fair bit (or should, as ICM considerations are alot different from a typical 9plyr. SNG, & different too from a typical SNG Satty).

    On this table we've played very tight but doubt that most will even notice. Table had mostly bad/weak players with only 2 out of 9 who were profitting players who seemed like they knew what they were doing.

    We're sitting on an okay stack of 23bb's, blinds at 50/100. We've been pretty tight and got out stack from a hand that played out in early levels (EP limper we raise to 120 in SB with AQo, EP called. Flop was AT6 rainbow & we lead out for ~3/4 pot and EP calls. Turn '4' we lead out for 350 (~1/2 pot) and EP re-raises us allin.. we snapcall (villain had been really loose & was big-time fish).. and villain shows T9s... AQ holds FTW & we double up. Other than that we haven't been active much at all.

    In this hand, Villain has been pretty active, playing a lot of pots, showing down some marginal hands (ie. flats a 7bb EP shov with A7o in CO for over 1/4 his stack.. & takes it down; in another he has 94s in BB, 4-way limped pot he checks a set on the flop & then check-raises allin on the turn vs. a turned straight & sucksout with boat on river).

    Here's the hand ->

    When someone delays and then raises, I usually think they have a big hand. What are you thinking about preflop? Usually they are pretending they are thinking about something so you don't think they have a huge hand. Unless he's one of those who delay every hand or has delayed often, I'd say he has A's or K's, possibly A Ks. That being said, I'd have a tough time folding Q's and you said he's been playing loose, maybe he thinks you're weak and is just trying to get you to fold, you only raised 3X blind from 1 off button (i thought so anyway) so possible he's trying to steal. Personally I'd probably reraise allin and be out of tourney if he really had it.
