So the big stack is running over the table atm, opening around 60% (just an estimation) He's a reg tho and his stats are 28/25/8,9 over 150 hands.
MP is also a reg 21/20/10 over 150 hands, but he's been really passive at this final table, I think this is his 3rd hand he's in.

Anyway, should I Shove here? I found shev's 3-bet very suspicious because it's so small, but I don't have any specific reads on his betsizing.

What would you do here?

I don't think MP is 3betting smallish with worse Aces than yours here, more likely looking like an inducing bet size which he hopes UTG shoves over with worse Aces or some random low/middle pair.

I think given MP's stack size and his 3bet sizing I think his range is really strong here, A,Q+/TT+ as I think just shoves weaker Ax/AJ/ hands + middle pairs.

I think it's more than fine folding here and deffo more optimal than shoving over here.
