how do you play in this situation? i hadn't seen the villain be too active. should that make it an easier fold?

I think you have to call the push. You have about 5-3 pot odds and AQs is a good hand. You can fold AQs to a reraise with deep money, but not here.

The miniraise in not standard with AQ UTG. You don't want a lot of action when you raise with AQ. Here you could make a standard raise, limp, or open push.

hmm, well a pretty tight player going all in with the bubble so close means he has something pretty big imo.. I know most people tend to tighten when they're close to the money, so i'd give him credit for a good hand.. only hands you don't wanna see are AK, QQ, KK.. all the rest you have the proper odds.. I'd lay it down though.. Raising an UTG raiser around the bubble seems to represent a big hand.. only exception would be if he understood inflection point play and decided that this was his best situation to win the pot with

a.) Either a fold from you
b.) at least 2 live cards to work with if they were low

Hero is the UTG raisor.

I wouldn't min raise, I would have made it 8k to go. If he still pushed, gotta call.

ya I know that.. I'm talking from the perspective of the BB

You have to have a pretty good read that this guy is ubertight on the bubble to lay this down. You are getting 5-3 pot odds and you are about a 7-3 dog against AK, KK, or QQ. You have to be pretty sure he has one of 4 hands.

To repeat whateveryone else said, the miniraise i think is the problem.. raises don't have to be quite as big when the blinds get big like that, so i think 8k is overkill, but 5500/6000/6500 should all do the job, then your play afterwards is more straightforward too.. if he pushes you don't have to think as hard to call.
