1/2 NL: Last hand of the night 1/2 NL: Last hand of the night

This is a fairly short question about preflop and how it sets up the flop.

As the title states, this is the last hand of the night as declared by the poker room manager. We're down to 4-handed. UTG straddled to $4 and BTN blind-raised to $10 before the cards were dealt.

Hero has AQo in the SB.

Hero(SB) has $196. Image as tight player and other players have folded to preflop raises more than I'd like, but there haven't been many opportunities to 3-bet with hands that aren't either bona fide premiums or complete garbage.

BB has about $225, is a calling station, with most of the looseness preflop. Seems to do the math and act accordingly when he knows he's drawing. Has flatted me on the button with AQ in previous hand, but surely has called me with much worse. He's the only one who seems to be ok with giving me action.

UTG, ~$800, newish to the table but has run supergood, with the big pot being a KK that smooth-called pre and got stacks in on 9-6-5-9-x. Close to TAG, and very talkative, familiar with others so perhaps gets more action than justified.

BTN, ~$350 is the active player at the table. Raises preflop a lot but slows down after the flop substantially. I haven't seen any bluffs shown down.

Keep in mind it is the last hand of the night, BB and BTN are stuck, and the three of them play together regularly.

$30.
Easy stack off with top pair.
If we miss, likely have to ck/fold. Maybe ck/call depending on sizing and live tells.

Not sure of the question... If its on us - it's a fairly straightfoward raise, yes?

Raise a little more than you normally would because it's the last hand and people will be calling you light.

Definitely raise. I like $35-$40, slightly more than my normal value raise size only because you're out of position and ppl might call lighter than usual (you want this call but you also want to get more in with the better hand pre).

Depending on # ppl on the flop, you can cbet or ck

That is correct. We are first to act with $1+2+4+10 = $17 in the pot.

Bet sizing and how it plays out is the question.

I'm almost certainly going to raise, but you could even question that if you thought one of the 3 villains would exploit their position and the apparent weakness to try stealing (so I could call/backraise). If that fails, we're going to be 4-ways with $40 in the pot and $186 behind.

Make it $40 pre. My guess is you'll have one pot sized bet left when everyone calls. Thoughts about stacking off pre if you get shoved on?
