1.10 pko on stars, I was 7/13 going into the hand, only seen utg get involved with a few hands ako and qq in lp, shoving qq and ak w <15bbs

villain 16/12 over c40 hands

Pretty sure this is way too nitty especially in pko being so top heavy. Villain had 2 starting bounties

PokerStars - 3500/7000 Ante 1100 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

MP: 15.6 BB
CO: 30.25 BB
BTN: 26.92 BB
SB: 6.13 BB
Hero (BB): 19.85 BB
UTG: 12.64 BB
UTG+1: 13.52 BB

7 players post ante of 0.16 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.6 BB) Hero has Qh Ah
UTG raises to 12.48 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold

With villain's stack size and the bounty (and the size of the bounty is very important here), yes, this is a nit fold. I think this is probably a call even in a non-PKO tournament.

(I missed that you mentioned the size of the bounty there. Not big enough to make a massive difference this late in the tournament, but I still think AQs is a call. Even with what you've seen it's highly unlikely that villain's range is entirely something like TT+/AK, or even 88+/AQ+.)

There were so many spewy players at the table i felt i could find a better spot but I think now that's rather hopeful w 5min levels and c20bbs. Bugged me all night this decision lol

In addition to the fact that you get paid the bounty, I personally will jam lighter in a bounty tournament because so many people will call me lighter. AQs is a monster here.

And that's generally correct to do, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, if the levels are that short there really is no "waiting for a better spot." And this actual spot also gives you a chance to make actual money immediately on top of likely being +cEV, which has to be factored into your equity calculation.
