Default ($27) AQs raise and a call and a ???

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1445)
UTG+1 (t1165)
MP1 (t295)
MP2 (t4445)
CO (t1135)
Button (t2130)
Hero (t1355)
BB (t1530)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises to t300</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t300, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1355 (All-in)[/col

mp2 doubled up hand before w/ AA. no read on on the button's call, not really expecting anything special from him. push seems thin here, but better than folding. calling seems the worst of my options.

I like a push here too. You'd push without the button call, right?

If I knew the button to be a strong, winning player, I'd be more suspicious of a slowplayed monster. Without evidence, it's just bonus chips for you.

I like a push here also. But I'd just call it if it was hu (if button folded).

Nah, you're OOP.

Push --&gt; Ship it --&gt; Holla.

This was my thought as well. Push seems like the best available option.

A push seems fine here. You have 13xBB left and AQs is just to good to fold. It's time to gamble.
