Thinking on next level then this AQ call is pure gold.

I think the number of people defending/advocating AQo as a correct call is pretty sad actually.

fold, it also spoils your image and you will get called lighter in other spots.

I love wrecking the bubble, but I never see the BB calling tight enough to make this shove +EV in a 16. I know that most winning regs at this level are calling with AQo here. As BB I'd also assign a pretty wide range against a reg like Loxxii, who I know would likely be pushing wide here in order to gain the chiplead and pwn the bubble. I don't think unknown BB is ever folding AK here, and rarely AQ. There isn't a shortstack in danger of busting out on the next hand or anything. However, I still think BB should be folding this hand and jamming at the next opportunity.

I should add that folding allows button and sb both to have the opportunity to shove-- and pretty much anything that happens here increases our equity, even if BB folds.

I like that one a lot less. It's just too marginal to be worth pushing 14BBs without antes. Best case scenario it's going to be around +0.3 %EV, usually it's less. Unlike the 1st hand you don't gain the chiplead after a successful steal here either.

The fact that AQ or worse hands is a bad call here is completely irrelevant. It wasn't the BB who posted the hand. It IS a fact that hardly anyone is folding AQ there and when you get called by that or whatever other hands they call with it is terrible for us.
