I entered a $150+50 bounty game on Sunday. At final table with 9 left. I utg +2 with AQ os. Blinds 800-1600. I open for 4200, player behind ships it for 20,000. I started hand with 38,000. 2min left in level, next level 1000-2000. This player has been pretty active, raising alot of pots, and I have folded to him a couple times. Fold again?

Easy call, imo.

I did make the call, he had A,K, took me down to 8k. A few hands later I shipped about 10 k with JJ, lost to ace 9. Finished 8th out of 44. 3 out of the money. This was my first tourney at #casinonb. The game was well run, good structure. I'm sure I'll go again.

If you're playing to win you have to call and hope you're racing (or bettter, obv).

If you're trying to grind your way up the money ladder, then it would depend on the other stack sizes. If there are 1 or 2 smaller stax you could fold and hope they bust out ahead of you. However, being UTG, u will be paying blinds next 2 hands which will effectively leave u 15 bigs. Looks like a good spot to get it in IMO.

No. Don't fold here because you are ahead of his shoving range.
Consider what his shoving range is at 20k (12bb's). Seems like a great question for Nash btw - http://www.holdemresources.net/h/web-calculators/nashicm.html.

Let us know if you find out what the exact answer is
