Without running the math it looks like an unexploitable push.

Also, assuming a sane person shoving from the SB here, it looks like a bad call.

The call is VERY standard. SB isn't shoving hands that dominate us very often. Obviously, with reads AQ can be a bad call but usually it's a pretty big mistake to fold AQ.

I'm also surprised how many people say AQ is an easy fold.

It's cause they SNGPT'ed it and it says fold. Meh whatever I'm ahead - I call it.

If shoving AT is clearly correct then yeah, I'd say we are. Almost nobody shoves AA and KK here, remember.

I'll throw QQ into the mix with that. I mean, in reality you probably have to assign a % to each, but very small, which makes a huge difference with a hand like AQ. It's easy to just plug in one of the SNGPT ranges, but if you can eliminate a couple of big hands, it can make a bad call a good call. Just cause it's a little more work to get a more accurate range in SNGPT isn't reason to get lazy on a key detail (and I'm normally all for being lazy).

And...reads on this? Kinda hugely, majorly important. We can all say right/wrong, but we have don't quite have enough info without being there. Lots of calls like this are hugely dependent on gameflow, history, etc. It'd also be nice to know how the remaining players react to the big stack on the bubble the times BB wins.
