first I wanna show a previous hand
blinds 30/60
stacks
me-9k
villian1-1500
villian2-3000
I raise to 240 with some trash hand like J8, Villian moves allin for 1500, Villian2 calls, I fold
Villian1 has A7
Villian2 has A2(see, hes a donk)
now, the hand at question, stacks
me-9k
villian1-2000
villian2-1300
blinds are now at 40/80
I raise from MP with AQ to 320, Villian 1 moves allin, and Villian2 calls allin, Hero.....
I know I have Villian2 crushed, and considering the first hand I wouldnt be surprised if I had him crushed aswell

I know you made approximations but 1200 chips disappeared in 2nd hand, regardless...
I would call. You are risking less than 1/4 of your stack to win the tournament. Others have proven that they will push/call push with marginal hands. AQ is great in a 3 handed game, and you probably have the best hand. Even if you lose you are still the chip leader.
EDIT: I was assuming that the tourney was down to 3. Guess not

it wasnt back-to-back hand so chip counts should differ

Oh, I thought the tourney was 3-handed at the time. Gotcha.
Was it an MTT or SNG? How many people were left?

why don't you list the other players and payouts and all that other stuff we need.
but of course given your 1 hand example this is an easy call.

the correct play was to pull a lighter out of your pocket and set those two cards on fire, reducing the probability of being dealt that combination in the future.

It was an MTT, about 300 left from 600, 60 got paid
payout structure not important here considering its so far from the money

I decided to call based on the fact that even if I called and lost, I would still have 7000, and I truely doubted I would be dominated more than 1/4th of the time
Villian 1 showed 44
Villian 2 showed QJ(see....donkey)
the flop was KJT......so that took care of everything
