Re: The rest of the hand

I wasn't going to fold the hand short handed with it costing 450 per round when my stack was 1180.

All the shenanigans of how this hand actually played out aside, there is a pretty important concept here. And that is, if you can't fold AQs shorthanded with this action, you are going to struggle becoming a winning sng player, and probably really have a hard time moving up in levels. Your AQ wants one opponent, preferrably a smaller stack than yours taking a stab at this pot (like UTG did). Once UTG gets a caller, and with the big stack still to act behind you, your AQ is toilet paper...fold it as quickly as possible and watch the fireworks as you cruise into the money. Remember this is a sit-n-go where the greatest thing in the world when you're a small stack on the bubble is for 2 (or more) of the bigger stacks to tangle with each other.
By the way, for all the same reasons, AKs is also a clear fold here. Once you can make that play, you're better than 95% of all players online.
