I have 22bigs - 3b jam is 26bigs effective. Decent read I have on the villain is that he calls jams light, but I don't really have reads on his jams. AK im going with here but not sure where AQ falls.

The 3 players that were on this table I felt had an edge on me. (Viking25 was away). Jam was a little bit puzzling as I hadn't seen it before. He lost a decent size pot the hand before, but as he is a very good reg on this site I didn't really assume that this was tilt.

13 left at this point.

    Given the positions the action has come from it's kinda close. Shove is pretty massive and I think villain may play his nutted hands this way thinking a small 3-bet against Darsum's stack size is gonna look really strong.

    Imo it's just a fold but I don't think calling is terrible.

    As above. Would possibly lean towards a fold, but both options have their merits.

    I think its a 50/50

    I would call expecting to be against a pocket pair of 1010 or lower

    Took me the whole timer and i never really use it lol. Had a feeling it was small tilt but I just sighed and thought there are more comfortable spots to GII. Worked out for me really but think its an interesting hand to discuss

    not saying he was tilt shoving by the way, hes a good player but well capable of shoving worse than AQ, seen him do it on a few occasions.
