Re: AQo on the bubble
-3% ev is about as bad as it gets normally [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
You can't call here. You need a pair. How big depends on your read. AK is a fold. Readless you have to fold unless you specifically know he makes this shove with A-rag only I suppose.
This is super-important in SnGs. Examine ICM, why exactly it is like that, why you cannot call when you are confident you have the best hand, etc etc. ICM tells you your stack value in $ dollars in relation to the prizepool If you do the math on your own you'll have a revelation. Find an ICM calc, figure out $EV(call) and $EV(fold), calculate your hand against his range and see if folding is better than calling. Also recognize how pot odds can't be applied the way they would in cashgame or MTT (ICM does apply in MTT but not as much).
Instafold AK on the bubble if you have a good stack and you think villain is a steal but it's many BB to call. You'll achieve much better results.
Sorry if I repeat anything that's been said above which is likely.
