Re: How should I have played this hand?
My first thought was you need to overpush and threaten the SB with a crippling.
The thing is, though, the SB's smooth call indicates either a lot of strength or a gamble. With your read, it would seem to indicate strength--his hand is big enough to allow you to come in. In his position, I'd only do this with AA, KK maybe QQ. The other thing is, if you miss the flop, are you folding and leaving yourself with 11-12 BB's? If you fold now, in the face of possible superstrength in the SB, you are still in a comfortable position to play against the other two stacks.
So, I think I'd fold and let them go at it. If I were going to play, I would reraise all in, on the off chance SB is gambling or can find a fold.
My caveat: This advice feels weak tight. 4-handed, AQ is a big hand.
