I'd say standard fold?

I probably call here and play postflop poker against UTG. It's only 350 to you in the BB and UTG can't re-raise if I'm reading this correctly, so you are guarenteed a flop.

Damnit I forgot that. At the time I saw UTG pushing and me cursing and folding so I folded before he had the change.

Could you explain. Why would you want to take a probably 60/40 50/50 chance against the one person that can bust you when you have a really big stack compared to everyone else? If he really is a maniac, he is probably calling a very wide range, and AQ isn't strong enough imo to get called.

Because 1/3rd of your stack is in the middle and you are crushing his range.

i completely missed the read on utg....i think shoving is fine also (can you raise still with the illegal bet all in from SB)?
