Everyone fold, im button and open with 2bb, SB goes 3b 7bb, BB goes 20bb. I jam with my QQ or go 5b. We have 100bb effective stack.
 
With 100BB you are not deep enough to 5-bet without jamming. And since the action is between the last 3 players to act, ranges should be wide enough to get it in with QQ.

Yep, to 5-bet would be a jam. What else would you 5-bet to, 50bb? Someone else here will just 6-bet jam behind. And even if 50bb somehow gets flat called, we have a pot of well over 100bb and only 50bb behind to play post-flop.

It's jam or fold. QQ is just good enough to shove it in here in my opinion, although we're likely up against a crap ton of A and K. At 66 bucks, this ain't no freeroll so the punt factor is lower. Hopefully they block each other. If we hit a Q or if the board bricks, we probably double or triple up. If we see an A or a K, we're going home with zero, so no shame in folding. Up to you.

Ah yes what are we going up against this deep in a $66 MTT
 
Shove would be my play, seems strong enough in this config plus your hand benefits alot from equity denial, i.e. people folding hands with an A or K in them

Exactly. In the ideal world we get SB to fold AK, and then BB pay us off with TT or JJ. Or they both fold. We will obviously run into KK or AA at a somewhat significant frequency, because a cold 4-bet is still a strong action even in late position. But if we just call, then SB usually call as well, and then there is 60BB in the pot and only 80BB left behind. Which mean, we are never getting away postflop anyway, unless there is a K or A on the flop.

SB has many hands that folds against the 5b, although I'm not sure with what is BB 4betting
