Default 3.4 - call push with aq ? bubble

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t800 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3265)
Hero (t2965)
SB (t2360)
BB (t6410)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t3215 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Had a discussion with a buddy of mine about this hand, he did not want to call, so i want you to tell him that he should!
or am i somehow totally wrong here?
1) lots of deadmoney
2) crushing villain's range
right?

can you explain why?
i figured since there is t1400 deadmoney in the pot a coinflip is profitable and since he is pushing like any ace+kq we are nearly always i good shape, but if you say that i have to have an error in my thinking process.

Well it all matters what his range is. I ran it through SNGPT and I get a call at -0.5% if hes raising with a range of 22+, A2s+, A30+, KTs+, KJ0+,QJs+, which is a pretty wide range.

Since your on the bubble your calling range here should be like TT+, AK. Now if you think his range is any two, then this could be a +EV call.

thank you for running it through sngpt.
i don't really understand the result though.
it's better for us if a bigger % of his pushing ranges are aces, and holdings containing queens.. intuitively..
right?

Am I way off for instacalling here? You aren't even a whole BB ahead of the shorty and its 400/800 so you only have 3.5BB. Not to mention if you get a chance to shove over the blinds the big stack is included. People push insanely wide (incorrectly) UTG with big blinds, especially in a $3.40.

Someone please enlighten me.
