Super tough spot my man. Given the stack sizes and the 3bet size I say nothing looks fishy here. With that being said I shove. A reg knows how to defend, knows how to fold and has a huge 3bet range in this spot. Range vs range, I think you're way ahead

what kind of touurnament is that?
On this stage such a raise means strong hand that in most cases would bet yours. The chance for you is if he's got something like JJ, QQ or KK and to hit an ace if you call with 1/4 of your stack. I probably would fold in that position. You still will be with around 25-27 BB, which is pretty nice in such stage of the tournament.

we have an awkward stack size, so a call is better than a shove imo

we still have position anyway

need more info. what kind of tournament is it? whats the buyin? cardschat makes it very easy to put this information in when you post a new hand analysis. dont be lazy when asking for advice. the less information you give, the less information you get.

also, you dont even tell us if your AQ is suited or not?!? thats extremely important in this situation! the fact that you dont include this information tells me that youre not even thinking about it in the hand.

are you in the bubble? are you in the money? how many places pay? whats your position in the tournament? are you in the top 10?

when you answer these questions, then I'll give you an answer of what you should do with your hand.

poker is a game of information, and if youre not thinking about this information, youre not going to win.

Final 4 tables => only information provided.

Are you ITM? Not enough information is given to decide what would I do.

If 2.5x is standard raise then Fold!

You should have raised it to 4x and if BB raises you know its a fold.

I probably call this AQ, not many infos you give too us, but this look like a good spot for the BB 3bet. And you need to call 87k on a pot with 354k.

I like to call and play in position this spot.

I agree if you call you get a good return on your money and you get to see flop and action before you act . I f you end up folding on flop you still have 23 blinds to work with If you hit or outplay him on the flop you pick up a good pot

I thing good descition for me is call, because you can obtain a good hand in the flop, if you don catch anything you fold.

i think calling is okay here since you're in position and have enough chips to play postflop.

I think their is merit to all 3 choices.
Folding - You have limited info on your opponent. And his raise, although is a classic squeeze, you do not complete the action. If you call, CO could rr.

Calling. You are in position vs the BB, but you will be OOP vs CO who will most likely come along with the pot odds he is giving you. If this occurs, you will have 1 pot size bet left practically. Calling is okay, but most flops will miss you and gonna be tough to win in it post flop vs 2 players. Unless you plan on leading the flop no matter what hits...

Shoving- Even though it puts your stack at risk, this choice has some merit. We need info on the CO at this point in order to make this decision easier. If the CO would flat things like JJ, QQ, AQs, we don't need to shove. But I think it looks like a simple squeeze from the BB... A shove will prob take it down. And you are probably about to be chip leader if you get it in and hold....

Agreed, i would have recommended a shove if we had more info on villain. without more info though, a shove risks our whole stack and and is probably only positive $EV if we know villain has a 3bet-fold range. we definitely want to make it to the final table if we made it this far.

i think i like either calling or folding the best, but probably a call because villain is usually squeezing here with a marginal hand. could even be as a wide as QJs or KQo, although i wouldnt count on it, we can try to hit a flop and if we do hit a Q on the flop we're ahead most of the time. an A on the flop can be a little trickier. I think if we fold on unfavorable flops, we still have a stack to make it to the FT, but if we hit a flop, it can possibly give us the chip lead.

I would probably let it go since I only had 50k chips invested. You only lost less than 9% of your chip stack. You will have more than enough to put some action in on a stronger hand. AQ can get you into trouble sometimes.

Rarely crushed here most likely up against something like AJ or 77 from BB and CO has some sort suited connector handed or a medium ace/pair. Have to jam/fold here totally disagree with calling here as you miss the flop a lot and you open yourself up to be bluffed out. If you are not feeling it and feel like you can wait and get a better spot you fold. On the flip side this is a great hand for this time of tournament you never know when you get a hand as good as this one again, plus a shove looks super strong here and would pick up the pot uncontested more often than not which is huge at this time of the tournament.

CO have more chips than BB and good player in this situation with BB position never will give you good chance to call with hands worse KK+. So, with your small stack you must fold here in 100% of times.

If you are deep stacked or your opponent is tight you can fold AJ and AQ without regrets. Be more agressive with AK and reraise instead of calling. Otherwise you are going to miss the flop 65% of the time and be in a hard spot.
