Should I call this? I couldn't do the math here.. I figured I'm behind his range but what about ICM or pot odds?

UTG folds, Hero raises to 180, UTG+2 raises to 1,440 and is All-In, Hero ???
Comes down largely to what range you give him, predominantly whether you can put any weaker aces in his range.
I fold this early.
I had AQo+ as his range and maybe AJs.. 99+ as for the pocket pairs..
Do they shove AA or KK here?
AQ+ makes you around 50% v's his range so you can call based on pot odds. I havnt run ICM but I imagine its much the same.
If his range is AQ+, 99+ you're 48.5:51.5 so with dead chips its a call. If his range is AK+, 99+ you're only 41:59 which makes it a fold I think. If you make his range AK+,99-QQ you're still only 45:55, but if its AQ+,99-QQ you're now a favorite at 53.5:46.5
I wouldnt expect most opps to push AA,KK here, most would raise to 500 or so, but its not impossible.
Unless I have reads otherwise I probably get a bit conservative with ranges, so I fold, that could be a mistake here though. This might be one where I fold to avoid the risk but better players say if theres an edge to take it.
I call this almost every time - people do this with smaller pairs, AQ, and AK. You rarely see people doing this with KK+.
