Default AQo at final table of super

5 get the seat into the big event. Average stack is exactly 5k, blinds are 150-300, I have 2400 and AQo UTG. My opponents are very bad, which means I do not have as much folding equity as I would like. Am I still moving in here every time? If so, what is the minimum that I would move in with UTG in this situation?

How many are left and are there any stacks less than yours. Your moving completly depends on these factors.

Sorry about that. Beginning of final table, so 10 left. Here were the 10 stacks:
Me: 2424
Big stacks: 6598, 7835, 13469
Medium stack: 4451, 5208
Small stacks: 2812, 1228, 2945, 3030

So I was in 9th, but 80% of 6th. If I double here, I am sitting at the 5k average, and there is a good chance I can pick up a big hand or wait on the idiots to knock themselves out and get into the final 5. Of course, since I am UTG, there is a good chance I will get a call. I think these players call me with almost any pair, maybe even all pairs, A9-AK, KT-KQ.

Normally, the reason you would fold a decent hand is because you hope to get a better chance at an uncontested pot later. Here, these players are not going to get any tighter if you wait, meaning your chances to advance by stealing blinds are limited. Given that, and given the solid chance that the hand which calls you will be a dominated one, I think you need to push now.

I'd push here. You can't wait too long because the blinds will take their toll. Given the table demeanor, if you double up here, you can probably just about coast to finish.

Yeah, I'd probably push. I wouldn't be all too thrilled about it, but I can't see folding this far away from the bubble. If you were down to 6 or 7, and there were 1 or 2 stacks within 50% of you, then I could see folding.

You got 8BB's left with AQo, Move your chips in the middle and hope for the best.
