Default 500FPP Sunday Million-Satellite deep, AQ

Hello,
its my first post here.

I am pretty deep in this satellite. 24 left, 9 seats, entries are already paid back. I am slightly below average. Blinds go up in 3 minutes. Villain in this hand is a huge donk, limped when blinds were much too high, called with ridiculous hands etc.
He reraises me for the 2nd time in the previous 3 hands i raised and called me in a few more. I figure that if i call and win i have a very good chance to get a seat. My stealing ability is unfortunately impaired by this donk and another loose bigstack in between us.
So is this a call?

I'd fold...

It would be good to know the stacks on the other tables though.

It seems to me that Villain thinks he must terrorize the table as the chipleader (as he saw it in TV). You still have quite a way in front of you (surviving 15 more players to get a seat) and have only about 15BB left after folding. What about a push to make a stand? I donīt think that Villain wants to risk more than half of his stack with a maybe marginal hand (whereas he can reraise you at a wide range with quite small risk).

Any comments are welcome ...

[/ QUOTE ]Which hands will call a push, and how does AQo do against thouse hands? having ~30K in chips should be a given seat but do we want to risk it at this stage? We'll be "calling" a push with AQo.

To get this straight, he put me allin, so i cant "push" anymore.

I am not afraid of QQ+ because i dont think he reraises that big with these hands. The only hand that really worries me is AK.
The main question boils down to: Is it worth taking a coinflip here with 12000 to call and 6400 in the pot? Does he have KQ, AJ often enough if not?

Personally, from what you have said about this guy, you answered your own question and it is call....but i would expect to see a range of 66-99.

Some people like to game ble in these spots while others will back off, however in a satelitte for 500 FPP i like a call and a comfort zone into the top 9.

EDIT: if you win the coin flip obv.

Sorry, I read a reraise to "4.400" which would not even be the double amount of your bet. Now I see that he set you all-in.

In this case it would be a fold to me ... you did not tell us that you observed villain going all-in very often, you only said that he limped too much and called raises or reraised you. So - what will he push with? AK is very reasonable, KK / AA as well. I would not expect AJ, KQ etc. - he might make a loose call with these hands but not more. With a lower pp I also would expect a call or a smaller reraise. Another tell for me seems to be, when someone just set the amount of my chips to set me all-in. If he really doesnīt want to get called (with 77 for example) he might go all-in to scare me (even when it makes no difference at all), but setting "only" 14.400 looks like a much better hand ...
