Final 4 in a Stars 5 SNG.
Me - 2700
Button- 300
SB - 6500
BB - 4000 (lucky guy just nailed AA/KK back to back and didnt bother to raise at any point with either, of course he won the tourney)
Blinds 75/150
I am UTG and dealt AQ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Preflop: Hero raises (600), Button folds. SB goes All-in. BB folds.
Now SB is a pretty bad player whose only only push preflop was with A6o early in the tourny (not short stacked either).
With this information I figured I had the best hand and I called. Also this had been a very cold card tourney for me, I saw 4 hands outside the big blind, with this AQ being by FAR the best starting hand I had gotten, so that might have influenced my call also.
So is this call really stupid? The more I think about it the more I believe it is. Seems like this is one of those instances where I wouldnt mind someone calling my all-in, but I dont want to be calling someone elses all-in, especially on the bubble where my opponent has me covered.

SB shows AJ spades and the 4 spade board gave him my chips
