Late in tourney, AQ in SB facing a Button push

You are more than a little ahead of his range IMO. However, if the table was REALLY weak, and you were stealing very easily, I MIGHT consider possibly folding. However, the situation would really have to be extreme.

If the table was really weak, and stealing was easy, I think I would rather gamble here. You can easily make back the 12k in chips with a few steals since the blinds are so high, and you are about to be on the button having just shown down AQ. Regardless, this is an easy call IMO. I fold AQ in many types of situations with no problem, but I don't think I would ever fold AQ from the blinds in this spot. If he has AA/KK/AK, good for him. All I know is that you are ahead of even an extremely tight player's range in this spot.
