Default $5.50: AQ misplayed on bubble?

Sharkscope had villian listed as a fish, but I found his play during the tournament to be fairly reasonable, somewhat loose but not overly aggressive.

Blinds were going up next hand. Was this a bad move?

Button (t2330)
Hero (t1725)

UTG (t5865)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

you have 0 fold equity if villain understands pot-odds, however I can't see folding as you're the shortest stack and utg should be raising a lot of hands here.

tough spot.

i sorta tried to model in sngpt. if villian pushes 44 A7s A9o KJs then you should have JJ+ to call. calling with AQ is -2.6%, that is a ton.

so for this to be any good at all you need FE. problem is, villian overraised preflop, and he has a huge stack. if he has half a brain he will call beacuse the pot odds are huge.

so i think you need to fold here.

cant fold here. People at 22s dont even understand pot odds half of the time, I can't imagine someone at a $5 one who is rated as a fish knowing odds here so you might luckbox your way into a fold.

I think shoving over villains range is correct here. You have about 11BB so you aren't terribly desperate on the bubble but I think with AQ you have villain's range at a $5 tournament dominated. I take the AQ but fold AJs.
