Bubble had passed and I'm chipleader of the tourney with around 70 ppl left. Table is not very aggressive and generally weak. Opponent is unknown, but before taking decision I checked his stats and he has negative ROI and generally losing player.
So having all that said:
1) what would u do? Snap call and be monster stack, or loose and be around less than average
2) Fold and taking more easy spots to get chips
And also interested when players do that with such a huge shove, what ranges can we assign? Weird hand anyway.
Probably I made some sort of spewy call, not being results oriented.

BvB he could be sitting on ATC, that being said this falls into one of two categories for me:

1. He thinks I am just opening to pick on his BB and he is aggravated by it and decided to defend

2. He woke up with a hand.

 

It is a tough call trying to figure it out as it is a huge stack to be shoving at this point in the tourney. Given the stage that we are at I think I fold pretty much anything but the tippy top of my range as I want to be a little risk averse and maintain a solid chip position. If I have 30-40bb's here I think I call though attempting to put myself in a great position as I think the majority of the time this is a pretty standard response from BB's who think you are raising just to steal. So to sum it up, my stack here is really what dictates I don't call it off as I think it is too big a risk to be wrong, if I am shorter stacked I will call this with AQo every day of the week.

highly doubt he's jamming ATC here.

 

we need ~47% equity against his range to call and i highly doubt we have it. sure it's annoying to fold AQ BvB, but there have to be better, lower-variance spots than this to accumulate.

 

also, i'd go 3x PF with these stacks.

What does mean ATC? He actually showed TT. Yeap in retrospect i think it's pretty marginal call, with my stack and weak table.

I'm not taking a 118 bb coinflip or, worse, seeing him roll over AK and being crushed.

overshoves from weak players are usually strength i think, but not aces or kings, because they like to slowplay that. 

 

pretty much 99-QQ type hands that they feel scared to play postflop with in case an overcard falls so they just jam it in there.

Jamming ATC here is retarded. So the main point probably don't take such huge gambles and preserve ur stack cautiously.

Easy fold. You've got a good stack and will find way better spots to pick up chips. Taking a flip or worse for most of your stack here is bad.
