Just now adding in that Hyper Turbo info? Totally changes everything.

That AQ now becomes a must shove IMHO, and your fold became bad.

Yea sorry, I presumed it would say at the top where it says the BI but I've just looked and it doesn't. I still wouldn't be convinced by the shove though. The winnings rapidly increase as we reach the top position and I'm in a pretty good position to let some other players knock themselves out and look to push with a decent hand from late position with no action pre to steal blinds and maybe get called by worse hands.

This is a hyper turbo tourney so folding after the flop is not a situation I want to be getting into, if that happens I'm going to be short stacked and I'll have to shove in the next few orbits. At this point its pretty much shove/fold, flatting isn't really an option. The min raise from UTG+1 just felt very strong and could have easily been a monster looking to induce.I'm figuring here I'm a slgiht underdog at best, crushed at worst.
If it a hyper I think it's a clear shove, not that I am hyper expert ...

Situation that happened a minute ago that I'm not really sure about. Is this + tourney ev to fold in this situation? I didn't really fancy a coin flip and someone could've quite easily had a better hand and taken out my decent sized stack. As it turned out I would've had the best hand but thats not really relevant. Never played other players before so no read on anyone.

yea i would fold too. UTG+1 is gonna bet/push. And if he doesn't MP is sure gonna, so you have to hit to call.

If your playing in super low stakes you might get a couple crazies with midpairs and small aces, I would call here and see a flop
