Default AQs shortish stack vs. big stack

Stars $10 MTT, 2k field. 2/3 of the way through the money. TAG who is 5th in chips opens for 2.5x pre-flop UTG. He opens about once/orbit, maybe slightly less, from various positions. Folded to me in the BB. I have AQs and 15BB after posting. Call, fold, or push?

Difficult situation. HOpe you get a few answers!

If he was in lp, i shove, from utg, i would prolly very reluctantly fold

However, if you are against a short stack, its a great isolation raise!

easy fold IMO.

edited: misread....it's suited and it's only 1.5bb to you...yeah i would call for sure. i would not push this as i dont think he is opening loose enough for it to be profitable
