Late in tourney, AQ in SB facing a Button push

[flopking]

I call, but I'm not thrilled....
calling a medium stack push here from a strategic staindpoint gives you two shots to win the tourney...

you can win at showdown, locking yourself into the FT and probably assuring yourself no worse than a 4th or 5th finish, esp if you abuse the FT minibubble...

even if you lose, you retain enough chips to be competitive...

that said, normally when a quiet player pushes against a big stack there is a reason why.. and it isn't because you're flipping for 250K...

did he flip over AK?
