Default AQ on button deep-stacked vs. short stack\'s all-in

$400 live tournament in underground room. Start with 10,000 chips, 40-minute levels.

4th level, 100-200 with 25 ante.

I'm on button with 9,000. MP limps, cutoff goes all-in for 2,500.

MP is standard loose-bad, limping into a lot of pots. No reason to think he has a hand. Cutoff is competent, but could be steaming after losing a large pot a couple hands earlier.

Call, raise or fold?

What´s the stack of MP? What about the Blinds? Reads/stacks? Your AQ is offsuited?

Without further information this is a fold to me, unless you´re convinced that CO is steaming and/or the blinds are no threat. You´ll have to push (to isolate him) for probably getting a flip. You´re much to deep to flip with this little dead money in the pot ... and it would really hurt to see him revealing AK here. So - don´t rush with your head through the wall and lay it down here.

Need to know blinds to be sure but if there something like I'd expect for someone to shove 2500, say 150/300 or anything around there this is a clear isoshove. COs range for shoving over a habitual limper should be very wide & AQ should definitely be ahead.
