This tournament is another $1.08 Bounty Builder. This hand is an interesting one :)

BB I don't have the stats on him only what GG hud has and it has a VPIP 60 and a bounty of $1.75

Do you guys call here, the shove from BB?

In a bounty tournament as the chip leader, that would be difficult to fold. CO is pretty tight, but BB looks to be pretty loose has been hoping to get lucky and seems they have this tournament.

I'd put CO on mid PP (88, 99, 1010, JJ). And BB on Ax - A10? A9? I don't think either of them would have AA, KK, QQ, or AK - so, AQs is probably not looking terrible. But that's a nice chunk of your chips to risk.

With it being a a bounty tournament and having a commanding chip lead, I'd probably end up calling. I wouldn't like it, but I'd do it. Losing would still put you over 80BBs. Worth the risk to KO 2 players.

Even if you were to lose to the CO, you'd still make a profit if you were to beat the BB, who is very loose.

With that stack size I would call. You have chance to claim 2 bounties and AQs is a premium hand.
