Wild,wooly, (and awkward) AQo hand from UTG+1 20BB deep

[Sam Stone]

First hand post. Be gentle

$4/180 Stars

Relatively new at table. No reads, other than BB has somehow worked his way into a massive stack.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t1630)
SB (t1680)
BB (t10845)
UTG (t2390)
Hero (t2990)
MP1 (t1340)
MP2 (t290)
CO (t4157)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1630 and is all-in</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t1480, Hero ???

BB/bigstack's overcall is what really throws a wrench in my thinking and makes this an interesting hand (in my opinion, anyway).

Hero calls t1180.

Flop: (t4965) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t9215 (All-In)</font>, I really, really, really want to fold here. I'm beat. But I'm committed and I'm getting ~4:1, yes? Or does anyone find a fold?

Hero calls t1360 (All-In).

I'm probably raising a little less pf with a drawing hand since in a $4 they will call you whether you raise 2.5x or 6x the bb if they have any 2 pretty cards... I'd go 350-375, maybe even limp if I expect that a raise isn't likely to shorten the field. After the button raise and bb call I'm folding. As played, ya I'm guessing you call him post.

What makes this tough is with my 3xBB preflop raise and the ensuing action, the pot is now t3785 and it costs t1360 to call. That's pretty juicy.
