PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t5080)
SB (t705)
Hero (t1520)
UTG (t1695)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, A.
1 fold, Button raises to t5080, 2 folds.

Final Pot: t375

Is this fold too weak? Should I be snap calling it?

Snap call. Button is probably raising AIPF with a huge range to bully you guys. AQ is plenty strong to play back. Hey, if the guy has AK or a hot PP, them's the breaks...

It's obviously a +EV chip call, but if this is the bubble and with the SB only having 705, it could possibly be a fold, someone with ICM calculators could probably work that out for you.

Its not the bubble, its a 6 seater. Calling is +2.7% of the prize pool. In a 9 seater (with all stacks 1.5x) its down to +.1%, and a fold figuring the shortie wont play optimally.

Generally, you're fold is too weak here. He's got a fearless stack that's trying to steal chips, with any medium hand. 4-handed, you are likely to have the only Ace, and you've got the second best kicker. Call your stack.

Weaksauce dude. Easy call.
