Default stars $16 - 3 players left, one is sitting out...

So SB has been sitting out the last 10-12 hands (I think he disconnected), and villain has been pushing on every single hand since the disconnect. Can I call here? I know I want to...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Button (t8955)
SB (t2225)
Hero (t2320)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t8930</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>

Easy call for me with your read. Interesting spot, if you keep on folding unless you pick up JJ+ I wonder whether you will blind out before SB.

I feel that if we are folding this one, we are only playing to finish 2nd, and 2nd only unless we pick up jj+. This is an easy call for me.

Not only should you be calling with AQ but you should be calling with nearly 25% of your hands. The fact that the SB is sitting out is irrelevant since the big stack is raising every hand and you'll blind out first at this rate.

definitely call, the weight of the sitter isnt nearly enough for me to fold this given the similarity of the stacks.
