I can't find the hand on Elephant. Here is the summary.

$3 KO turbo tourney on Full Tilt

Blinds 400/800 ante 100

MP1 14.960
MP2 16.495
Hero SB 20.670

mp 1 raises 2.150
mp 2 raises allin 16.495
hero??

90 paid 93/817 players left
Average stack aprox. 15K

MP1 was normal, MP2 was slightly loose, I thought he was capable of stealing there on the bubble.

Was QQ a fold or reshove? I didn't want to ruin my whole tournament there on the bubble calling some Ax or less likely KK AA, or worse, get involved into a 3 way allin pot, where my equity would decrease and/or be behind.

But on the other hand with 4K chips left at worse, I could have probably made the money, so I'm thinking this maybe was a play to win situation. Busted 20th. Probably would have final tabled if I won that pot. Hmmmm. Still can't figure out if I played right or not.

easy call all day, im never ever folding qq in that spot, (when u shove MP1 will never call without strong hand lats say JJ+AK so this will be 2 way pot any way) and btw i'm never folding qq preflop in 3$ MTT
as u say u'll have 4 k left if u loose and u will get itm any way

A 20bb shove over an openraise can be very wide, but never strong enough to fold QQ. You are ahead against any reasonable range
-> easy call
