He is calling 22 bb to win 41.5 (your 26.5 plus 13.5 from the short stack shove and two callers plus 1.5 from the blinds). Even without bounties factored in he needs 34.6% equity to make that call. 87s vs AQs has 38.8% equity. Obviously he doesnÂ’t know your iso shove range here, but with a short stack all in and a lot of dead money, AQs is probably near the top of it. He certainly had plenty of equity vs a reasonable iso shove range to call, even without the opportunity to pick up two bounties.
There certainly is no evidence of anything sketchy going on here, even if this were a bad call. You are being results oriented; do you not want people calling your shoves with lesser hands? Of course you do, but sometimes they will bust you when they do. That’s poker.
