Nash here suggests to overcall ATo+ (12,5%) but i dont get it. I thought this was one of those spots that we fold QQ and maybe KK. ?(

Party, $0.85 Buy-in (600/1,200 blinds, 50 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 5,090 (4.2 bb)
Hero (BB): 7,695 (6.4 bb)
BTN: 7,215 (6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q A
BTN raises to 7,165 and is all-in, SB calls 4,440 and is all-in, Hero folds

Flop: (11,430) T Q K (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (11,430) 9 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (11,430) A (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

11,430 pot
Final Board: T Q K 9 A
SB showed 3 3 and lost (-5,090 net)
BTN showed A 9 and won 11,430 (6,340 net)

Hey!

In spots like this, always keep in mind who covers who!
In this spot, you have them both covered, so the only possible way for you to end up 3rd is that BU beats you but SB beats BU. That is incredibly unlikely, that's why you can overcall AQo here.

However, note that this is not a bubble so we would never ever fold QQ here even if we were the smallest stack. There is some ICM factor here (a mini-bubble) but it's much smaller than on the actual bubble.
