5x BB raise in front level V, I have AQ ($38)

Opp's stats were something like 27/15 at this point. This is a breakeven shove over if he is shoving 15% or wider and assuming that he never folds to a shove. So what does raising almost half your stack mean in this spot?

Huge raise is usually a poor player with good but not amazing hand like AQ or TT that wants to discourage action. You don't have odds to gamble against that range so fold.

Also, I always feel kind of dirty when I fold and where villain could exploit me if he knew I was folding this. I don't think that's even the case here though. I gave villain A7s one of the worst hands in the top 15%, and calling ranges of 99+ AK AQs for CO, Button, and SB, and 44+,A7s+,KJs+,A9o+,KQo for BB, as well as overcalling ranges of QQ+ for Button and SB and TT+ AK for BB, and was still a pretty marginal shove for him. So I don't even think you're that exploitable if you fold here.

I think it's pretty break-even.. I'd fold without a special read for that raise..
