    Default dangerous flop against a loose agg player

    villain has been playing about 30% of pots, very aggressively. pushed and won a couple of hands without showing down. im low on chips but not hopeless. advice please.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)

    SB (t5205)
    BB (t975)
    UTG (t1095)
    MP1 (t2515)
    Hero (t755)
    CO (t1815)
    Button (t1140)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q, A.
    UTG calls t50, MP1 calls t50, Hero raises to t250, 2 folds, SB calls t225, 1 fold, UTG folds, MP1 folds.

    Flop: (t650) J, K, Q (2 players)
    SB bets t4955 (All-In)

    I would just shove this preflop. There are 175 chips in the pot when it gets to you, that's more than 20% of your stack. Plus AQ needs to see all 5 cards to get full value if called by something like a pocket pair.

    As played, that is a tough spot, but in general a huge overbet like that usually means Villain doesn't want a call and is trying to bully you out of the pot. If he had something like AT wouldn't he want to make sure you called rather than scaring you away?

    Gotta call, but i' read this as K with a kicker of 8 or lower.
