Weird 5x raise deep in tournament

mattless

This hand is from late in Mini Open last night 400 odd runners and I am 8/14 i think. Standard table raise has been 2x-3x. Have old note on villian that he is quite loose, but that might be out of date. On this table he hasn't done anything out of oridnary, haven't noticed his normal raise size only seen him re-raise all in.

Basically as soon as I saw 5x raise I smelt a rat but I've got AQ and about 20 bb's so I jam cause I know/think it's the right thing to do.

Question is though are people usually super strong at this point of a tourney when they do funny over-raises and should I be going with gut and folding?

It's such an awful raise basically saying he can't fold but that's terribad as he needs someone to have a hand which most times they won't, but you're 4-handed so imo you can't fold just a sick cooler.

Funny thing really here matless mate , i HATE AQ but been told that i should play it just as you DID at this stage of a tourny by many players on the forum , i also keep runnin into superior hands as well and goin out after all of the hard work gettin this deep an an mtt.

Quite simply i have now gone back to foldin it.

I wasn't original raiser. I re-raised all in. Question is when villian 5x raises are they usually huge?

Seems pretty standard to me.  We can take a different if he opens smaller.  But I likely shove here all day long.

In answer to Q about bet sizing in late stages of tourney, 2.2x is getting very standard.  The 5x cant be read as a sign of strength as a rule here.  I also would likely read it other way most of time.
