     The basics first you have just over 6BB in the CO with a suited rag ace. You cant call as that would be so weak and bad, folding is a perfectly fine option, you also cant raise and fold to a reraise or raise to induce because you are not strong enough. So in a nutshell you only have 2 options and that is to either fold or shove so no problem there.

      Only 1 question needs to be answered and that is your reason for doing it. If you did it to steal the blinds(which were significant) then that is fine, but if you rasied because you wanted a caller and a double up then i think that A3s is too low down your range to be doing that.

      So nothing wrong with the way you played it( and nice binkage) but there could possibly be a problem with your reasoning.If you could answer that question then it will be sorted out.

    Would like to know other stack sizes but from what I can see allez has 1250 which is VERY short at 150/300 which is a good reason to fold. 

    Also I see it is 6-handed, this changes minimum stack size a LOT imo becasuse the blinds pass you very rarely so you can let yourself sink lower than normal so here if they pass you you have 1470 still which is more than enough to scare most stacks as average stack will be smaller. 

    Overall has to be fold for me, but shoving is better than say minraise/folding or limping which would be terribad obvz and as you have a good stack 6-way they can realy only call with QQ+ here and be profitable imo.
