Manly spot with QQ
$1.08 super bounty Hunter, couple thousand entries, ca 100 left, avg stack 32bb, I min open from UTG with QQ and 30bb, guy next to me 3bets to 7bb and has like 20 bb left, folded to BTN who jams for like 35 bb, a man does what here?

I take it we are in the money.
In a $1.08 tournament (online I assume) I likely call the jam. We could be up against JJ and AK.
Live its trickier because we are UTG and raised and then get 3 bet and 4 bet. Still I typically go down with QQ unless its a senior tournament where here I would fold in this spot (and to date my folds have been right 50% of the time vs AA and 50% of the time I would have been up against AK and a smaller pair and would have won about half of these so basically 25% chance overall to win so folding is good).
Yes it’s a daily GG donk. I was worried more about the UTG+1 3bet than the jam but now I’m not so sure as the BTN has to have at least JJ AK as you mentioned, maybe even QQ AK. I jammed and UTG1 tank called
You're in the money already I assume?
It actually seems relatively close with ICM. You might have finally found a spot where I support your decision to fold QQ pre. 😜
Considering it's a $1 buy-in I likely still get it in though. Even though the action makes your opponents' hands look pretty nutted, I feel like people get way more out of line in a $1 buy in compared to if you were in like a high stakes main event.
Just tried running it through HRC to get an ICM-adjusted GTO solution, but I'm getting nonsense results. It's saying 83s is a profitable call but QQ is a fold, lol. It has button jamming AA, KK, AK, JJ, TT but also 43s for some reason.
Has anyone else gotten nonsense results like this in a HRC sim before? I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's a bug but I'm guessing it's just such a rare node with these specific actions that it's creating some strange range interactions.
Edit: Just saw your last post where you said you called. I'm curious to see results.
Yes I called cause I wanted to man up eventually as you all told me to on different occasions but as you might have guessed I wouldn’t consult that spot if I won. The only thing I can hint now is that I had zero outs

That's a good hint. You were up against QQ and either AA or KK...
BTN jammed kings and UTG1 tank called with QQ which was baaad imo cause my call was already borderline as you suggested. He was committed due to his 3bet so maybe it was justifying enough but I think it was worse than my call
But I guess the most reasonable scenario would be - I open, he 3bets, another he jams, I fold and let the 3bettor finish his action and I’m not telling this only after seeing their cards, it’s just that a jam after UTG open and utg1 3bet screams “trouble” and the main reason you all concurred on a call here was that it was a $1 donk, which I find understandable but…. for future reference, What do you think about calling with AKs KK+ here? Just trying to get as much as possible from this post
I would say it's an easy call not because it's a $1 but because it's a $1 AND a bounty event. Bad players in low buyin online events tend to try way too hard to win the bounties, at least on the sites I've played on (never tried GG).
