Pre Flop: (500.00) Hero has Q♥ Q♦

fold, fold, Hero raises to 400.00, fold, CO raises to 4,467.00 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 4,067.00

Flop: (9434.00, 2 players) 5♥ J♥ K♥

Turn: (9434.00, 2 players) 8♦

River: (9434.00, 2 players) 3♥

Spoiler

Hero shows Q♥ Q♦ (Flush, King High) (Pre 57%, Flop 8%, Turn 5%)
CO shows A♥ K♣ (Flush, Ace High) (Pre 43%, Flop 92%, Turn 95%)
CO wins 9,434.00

Its the final table of 18man sng.
I assign the villain range 99+ AK AQs and vs that range my hand has 56.5% eq.
Looking at pot odds I need 43% eq to call in term of +cEV.
Is calling with QQ in this spot +$EV?
How to determine risk premium in these situations?
If I loose the hand, I`m 99% to drop out when the blinds reach me. If I win, we are still 7 players left and its not even near the bubble.

Hi.

This is a tricky spot and for that reason I went to ICMIZER.

With the range you put the villain QQ becomes a close call here. You can´t look to cEV on the final table, you must look to $EV, so, even if this is a close call we must play for top3. So I tend to make the call here knowing that QQ is the bottom of my range to do so.
Again, I used ICMIZER to confirm my thoughts and answer to your question ;)
