payouts:
1 $4300
2 $2700
3 $1600
4-9 $1200 down to $250

i have 170k, avg stack ~200k
blinds are 6000-12000, 400 ante (21600 in the pot)

2nd hand of the final table. in the 1st hand, i pushed with 88 in the SB vs button all-in and it held up.

UTG (no info on him) moves in for 150k, folded to me with AQs on the button, blinds have been playing relatively tight. easy fold?

what are your minimum requirements for calling here?

Easy fold. I'd probably call with AK, QQ+ (maybe JJ).

I don't think this is an *easy* fold, but it's a fold. I just don't think AQs is good enough here. Yeah, I call with TT+ though.

You're not really short, and you'd be surprised how fast people drop at the FT. Good chance at least 3 people drop before you're down to 10 bbs.

I'd make this call with 8 BBs or less I think. At that point it gets messy.
