calling the small stack would ve been fine, but with 2 guys already all-in AQs isnt a hand you want to be in the pot.

would ve probably folded everything but AA, KK here.

passed. First of all, if there was no ante, you are on an M of about 7.5, which means you need to be really tight, playing only top hands.(this is not a respectable stack). An all-in from 5K could mean a lot of things.
One thing i don't get, how is the pot 27k? 5K + 10K + Sb + BB - 16.2 K. Giving you 1.6:1 on a call vs 2 opponents. that's the hint: TWO opponents.

This is fine as long as you are not dominated or missing outs. This isn't likely because best case scenerio would be that neither opponent had AA, KK, QQ, AK. Tough decision, especially if one of them have been stealing all night.

I know it's easy for me to say this because I know the result, but I'd let it go and wait for a better opportunity. For one person to push all in against an all in, it signifies a pocket pair. If your read is that neither have pockets higher than JJ and neither have two cards Q or higher, call. Otherwise let it go and wait for a beter opportunity.

But it's all a numbers game. I just woke up so look elsewhere on that.

With 2 other players all in, I would have folded, AQ is just dominated by to many hands that people go all-in with.
