overvalue of AQ?

I don't have the specific details and I don't feel like looking for the HH, but tell me what y'all think of this hand. I'm 2nd in chips in the 10R w/ 9 ppl left. Chip leader has me covered by about 15k and he's to my left. He's been on my left for a while and we've both had alot of chips for a while. I was raising alot on the bubble of course. 9th place is like $400 and 1st is roughly 5.5k.

Folded to me in SB(15k) I make it 85k with AQo, my standard raise for a while. BB(30k) pushes for roughly 550k. What do you do?

I just don't like the prospect of calling off all your chips with AQ when you're second in chips on a final table, especially since you were quite successful in picking up pots to get to that spot.

I was watching until about 10 minutes before said hand. Given your description, and the size of the reraise. I would put him on a hand that doesn't want flop action.

So, I'd say he has something like 66 or AK. Oh, and fold.

What is your and the chip leader's stack size?

I see now, the BB is the chipleader and has 15K more, so you have ~525K?

Man, this one's close. You certainly have the best hand here a large percentage of the time. The problem is your stack and what you can do with it if you fold this hand. If you're middle of the pack, even with that stack in relation to the blinds, I think this is a clear call.

However, you've got yourself a stack in comparison to everyone else which gives you more opportunity to outplay. That would seem to warrant a fold.

All things considered, I think you have a call here because he's probably going to do this to you again and chances are you're not going to have this big of a hand when he does. I think you've got him crushed a really fair % of the time here and you're flipping a good % of the time also. Occasionally you run into a monster, but that's the risk you run. Call.

OK, let's add something else into the pot... he's re-raised you several times before and you laid down every time.

Still calling obviously. And liking it a whole lot more.

Yeah, I thought it was a good call, but some people disagreed, just wanted to get some more opinions.

Have the previous re-raises put you all-in?

I call and try to put a strangle hold on this.
He has KJs.

I was kinda considering folding, but now that you say that, it is an autocall. Too much money in the pot to let this one go.
