Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 8.09 BB (VPIP: 24.14, PFR: 16.07, 3Bet Preflop: 6.98, Hands: 117)
SB: 4.93 BB (VPIP: 19.05, PFR: 13.51, 3Bet Preflop: 7.69, Hands: 43)
Hero (BB): 11.43 BB
UTG: 18.34 BB (VPIP: 24.06, PFR: 17.19, 3Bet Preflop: 9.76, Hands: 139)
UTG+1: 38.46 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
MP: 14.39 BB (VPIP: 24.57, PFR: 19.88, 3Bet Preflop: 7.69, Hands: 178)
MP+1: 2.11 BB (VPIP: 26.60, PFR: 18.82, 3Bet Preflop: 7.41, Hands: 94)
CO: 9.25 BB (VPIP: 22.00, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 6.25, Hands: 51)

8 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.3 BB) Hero has Q A

fold, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to 9.15 BB and is all-in, fold, fold

It would seem like an easy call for me, but being this stage of the tournament is it better to fold and wait until im in a better spot to call?

The fact that this time he shows up with AK is trivial
He will be shoving really wide with his stack size and position.

Folding top 3% hands with 12bb is not good. Please don't do it

Hero calls 8.15 BB

Flop: (19.6 BB, 2 players) A 3 T

Turn: (19.6 BB, 2 players) 7

River: (19.6 BB, 2 players) 2

Hero shows Q A (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 61%, Flop 77%, Turn 82%)
CO shows 4 5 (Straight, Five High)
(Pre 39%, Flop 23%, Turn 18%)
CO wins 19.6 BB

proly something like 66+,ATo+,KQo+

Usually in these spots id rather punt now and go for a gold - bronze medal then get a 5 - 7 also-ran

My bad ... The OP didn't mention that this was FT, only in the title (and no so clear)
This is a pure ICM spot. Probably ICM will tell you to fold and call with QQ+ only but I like calling and gambling a little.to try to aim to top 3 finish. Payouts are important info here

Include payouts next time, to calculate accurate ICM

Payouts are important here to get accurate ICM results. Also depends on how wide you think he's shoving. I ran it thru ICMizer and used a couple of different payout structures and villain ranges. If villain is shoving 12%+ of hands it shows a call, fold at 11% and under.

I mean there's icm but we don't bust if we lose and we should be way ahead of his range.

He should be shoving way more than 12%

Nice Brag...thanks for sharing hand with us

Seriously, jam pre shoving reduces variance.
