Default ($5.50) AQ ITM after Big Stack Limp

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t9290)
Hero (t2410)
BB (t1800)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Button calls t400, <font color="red">Hero raises to t2385 (All-in)</font>,

This seems super standard but we had been ITM for quite some time now (entire 100-200 ante 25) level and I hadn't seen button limp one hand. Am I at the point where my stack is too low to even consider completing and going from there?

Obviously, the push would be totally automatic if he had been limping. Is it still here?

AQs three-handed is bank. What are you considering holding out for with 6BB? If he is slowplaying QQ-AA oh well.

Yeah I know...it's just one of those weird situations. As soon as he limped I just knew for a fact he had a monster. Just one of those things. Doesn't happen often for me but this one was crystal clear because he was so predictable.

Automatic as played.
There is such a thing as over analysis. Sure, sometimes he has the monster here - but, most of the time he doesn't.

This is a must push. You have 2,185 left and there is 1,075 in the pot. Picking up this pot is going to increase your stack by 49%. We need a ridiculous read to do anything but push this.

That might be the case but to a lot of players A5o is a monster 3-handed. He might be "trapping" with a range that AQs is ahead of.
