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

What's wrong with 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.

Should the BB really have called with AQ? looks shocking to me.

Was this your first shove?

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?

What? No. Ugh. Doesn't anyone actually do the math anymore? Shoving this against a huge moron who calls 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ is +.7% or $66.21. Against someone calling TT+,AQs+,AKo it's +1.2 or $105. Seriously, folding unexploitable pushes is lol.

Calling is atrocious of course. Against 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ is -.6%

Folding AQ may be slightly profitable but overall it's so worth it to just snap call.

AQo is the most overrated hand in sngs
