Hmm, still 10 handed, you still have a average stack, so I don't like shoving.

3 bet to ~800 is just spewy.

What do you do if you call and miss a flop? With the number hands he's getting involved in, it's more awkward to get a feel for whether the flop has hit him, and you're out of position too.

Even though he's aggressive, I'd be tempted to let it pass this time rather than play this out.

Just fold, if he was on like CO or BU with same stats Id lean towards a shove over top.

I think I fold here too. His vpip is 34 but his pfr is 'only' 16.

If you saw him raising with marginal hands (in early position) before, you could shove.

Calling is out of the question for the reasons TeamTrousers mentioned.

3x utg is usually a monster, especially with his stack he's got 988 left after his raise. most player's wont play AJ like that and if he flipped over 88-JJ (and showed you) you cant push. even if hes a complete spewtard your not at 60% equity. If you had some reason to think you had a lot of fold equity I think shoving can be good in these spots however.

Hand 0: 57.944% 54.73% 03.21% 187429458 11007113.00 { AcQd }
Hand 1: 42.056% 38.84% 03.21% 133017116 11007113.00 { 66+, A5s+, K9s+, Q9s+, J9s+, A9o+, KTo+, QTo+ }

this is a super easy fold, his stats suggest he isn't raising that wide, and his high vpip combined with the utg raise and shortish stack suggest he'll call your all in almost always.

i think with the ICM in dons he'd have to raising utter **** here before we could shove.
