Default $1100 5 handed Blind vs. Blind

Is this a correct shove? Call? Just wondering, thanks in advance.

I've only played a handful of sng's above $60 and not in probably close to a year. I probbaly haven't even played 250 sng's in the past 7 months (switched to cash). However, this is to me pretty obviously a very standard call.

You probably should move down like a zillion levels.

When did you stop playing sng's? Did you switch to cash? Make even more money there?

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.

BB is only 200. no antes? u can't shove this. raising/calling/folding (in that order for me) are all better options than shoving.

They may (or may not) be better options but shoving is certainly ok as well. Shoving is better than folding for sure.
