Everyone had fairly tight stats so I figure I would try the PearlJammer thing about underrepping AJ in pos, so I called but when they're was so much action on the flop I folded. This is close to the bubble and for tournament chip lead.
With your stack size its easy shove preflop, AQo stands great against their opening/flating rane and even has fold equity, so 3betshoving preflop is the play here.
On the flop you should be stacking off, there are many draws/lower aces which you dominate.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

There are just over 6BB in the pot when it gets to you, and you have some FE vs the raiser and a lot vs the caller. Basically, noki89 should be shoving with any hand that has you dominated. Lammas111 is the big stack at the table, and is probably just stealing whenever possible.
The two stacks to act after you are small, but it's likely the SB just has to get it in here, and you will have him crushed 95% of the time. It's possible he folds though, depending on how he ended up at 4.4BB
As played… I'm never folding the flop. If you are calling pre, what kind of flop are you looking for? This seems pretty much gin to me. I guess if you are on the stone bubble, there is some argument for folding to a min cash when it's very likely someone is bubbling here, but I'm still not sure that's a strong enough argument.
