i'm not saying this is never a fold, but i think calling is definitely the default. he probably shouldn't be check-raising AQ here, but having been 3bet after opening utg+1 he probably shouldn't be calling w/AJs pf. AJ is more likely to be check raised here; however, he's getting here w/AQ more often given pf and once he's there he's unlikely to fold.

i will agree that we have a tough decision in hand 1. we need ~35% equity to call and w/all available AQ combos we have ~33% against AQ+ . i didn't stove this so it is probably off, but it should be close. so we are getting nearly correct odds against this very tight range, not accounting for the times the villain will be making a move. it's not a fistpump call by any means, but i think we just have to make it and suck it up the times we've been outdrawn/coolered.

in scenario two we only need ~29% thanks to the dead money, so i think it is a standard call.
