Poker Stars, $1.32 Buy-in (200/400 blinds, 25 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): 1,840 (4.6 bb)
BB: 2,135 (5.3 bb)
CO: 3,535 (8.8 bb)
BTN: 5,990 (15 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q

CO folds, BTN raises to 5,965 and is all-in, Hero calls 1,615 and is all-in, [color="grey"]

Big stack is probably shoving close to 100% here. In this spot Sitngo wizard tells me to fold AQ and AK here. Have to say I'm surprised. Within a few rounds I will be blinding out sooner than the other guy. Considering big stack keeps shoving I don't think there will be a better spot to call then now. Thoughts?

That cannot be right.

Make sure you have input the correct ranges on each villain. Also try to take out the edge in case you have it on.

Vs a any2 range your calling range would be at least 15% which obv includes AQo.

Oh I see. I had BB at a really wide calling range (30%) in case I fold, which is obviously not realistic. If BB calls with 15% I still need to call only 6.6%.

i'm calling the raise here any day of the week, strong enough hand and you are short with the blinds about to go through you so I'm getting it all on the table. Got any stats on the villain, just curious as to how wide he's calling and pushing.

Im making this call for sure, short stacked against a 100% avg all in. I think there's no better time to get it in, you will be blinded our eventually and this is a hand I wouldn't mind at all getting it in with at this point. I think the call is the only play here, there's no way you can lay that down with the current chip situation.

Highly doubt this, it's a $1 SNG.
