2 table tournament online, top 4 places are paid....everyone starts with 1500 in chips. There are 10 players left, thus its 2 5 handed tables and I have 4100 in chips. The blinds are 75-150, I have AQo UTG and raise to 450.....the next to act raises allin for 1500 and its folded back to me. What to do?

If I read your post correctly ... It will cost you 1050 to win 3225-pot.

p*3225- 1050= 0 ... p= 32.56 %

Clear call !!!

Well the pot is only 3225 after I make my call. I like to have a lot of chips, and folding and leaving myself with 3700 still, leaves me in a very good situation in this type of event. If I call and lose the hand I will be around 2500, which somehow feels a lot worse to me in these tournaments.
I don't feel like actual pot odds are always correct to use in these cases, but whatever....I decided that since it was a 5 handed game there was simply too good of a chance that he had a pair JJ or under or something like AT and I called. He had QQ and I lost.
Another question.....What is the BEST hand that i should fold in that exact situation, after raising to 450 UTG.

I like to have a lot of chips ... So do I !?

... folding and leaving myself with 3700 still, leaves me in a very good situation ... That would be weak.

I decided that since it was a 5 handed game there was simply too good of a chance that he had a pair JJ or under or something like AT and I called. Good thinking.

What is the BEST hand that i should fold in that exact situation, after raising to 450 UTG. In this exact spot I would never fold !
