Hand occurred on the daily dollar, few hands after the bubble.
Villain is pretty loose, capable of shoving with atc if the table is weak, few hands before, he shoved with marginal hand after a steal attempt from the CO.
Now, I don't know why but from the way he played after the bubble, i felt he was just trying the make the bubble and wasn't arsed on playing anymore.
After thinking a few seconds and adding all of these together I decided to call.

Should i have folded the hand and wait for better spots without risking my stack, despite the low M?

this is a snap call and is only posted because you lost the hand

If you have even a slight indication anyone is pushing light snap call with this and less.

And yeah, BBV in general.

well posting a hand because of the results is frowned upon you want to make decisions based upon your equity and your evaluation of his range not because you made the correct decision and lost the hand.

When you call with AQo you are never a lock and while the call was correct you have to expect to lose ~40% of the time or so.

Also you don't need to full 3x from the button

Dont worry about the results a dereds said. Just play and try to get your money in good.
