AQ suited play or pass

HI guys new 2 the site think i made a big mistake in last night casino tourny !!! after the break i had respectable set of chips ie 10k in no limit tourny, im in the big blind for 800 and small stack opens all in for 5k next guy reraises too 10 k all in i have suited AQ and pot is 27k now !! re raiser has been stealing for last hour hour and this was my first decent hand in 40 mins ! should i have played or passed ???? i played and lost to the AK on the flopped please advise me should i have thrown them it is eating me thanks

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.
