Default AQ with a 3TT3 board - opponent overbets - thoughts?

middle stages of a $10 tourney - no read on my opponennt, trying to figure out how to play this hand when I've got position, an A, and I see an overbet like 9K into a 3K pot.

couldn't get hand convertor to work - it no likely Full Tilty

Full Tilt Poker Game - 200/400 Ante 50 - No Limit Hold'em - 10:13:48 ET - 2007/05/21

Seat 6: Opponent (10,685)
Seat 9: whiskeytown (10,080)

Opponent posts the small blind of 200

Opponent bets 9,435, and is all in

---------------

If this weren't a 10 buck tourney, I'd think it was a trap but it looks like another steal with A high - thoughts?

If I fold, I have 8K, about 20BB and am firmly in the middle of the pack - do I abandon a 3K pot here?

What's with the 6xBB raise?

It's possible he's stealing with A high here, but in that case you have a split pot at best. I'm folding here. Had you bet less, you wouldn't care too much about the pot...

Haven't played a $10 in a good while, but I'd hazard to say you're going to see a PP of some sort a decent amount of the time as well...

reread - it's only a 3BB raise, and considering the antes as well, I felt was too small in retrospect

I'd have been called anyways, however -

So it is, re: 3BB. This is the line that threw me: "Opponent posts the small blind of 200."

Anyways, I'd still fold here. You're only beating total air, splitting most of the time and way behind a significant enough amount of the time that calling is -EV.

3x is standard on FTP btw, plenty enough for FE.
