Four players get paid $100 and others get nothing. I don't know how to convert hands from BOL so I will just describe here. The stack distribution are as follows:

UTG: 70+bb
UTG+1: 25bb
HJ: 110bb
CO: 11bb
BU: 40+bb
SB: 50bb
BB (Hero): 17bb

Standard ante, and I have AJo. Now CO jam, BTU cold calls, what would you do here?
Information: I only have reads on BTU at the time, who is a relatively tight player. That cold call suddenly makes me feel scared.
later I know that CO is a super crusher even in the $109 game.

Some thoughts: Our hand is obviously way ahead of CO's range, he should be jamming any Ax, K5+? all pairs(maybe slow play AA,KK?). Since BU is tight he has many 99+,and AK,AQ. From my perspective he never has ATs. If my reads is correct this seems like an easy fold because we have less than 30% eq...

AJ acting terrible in a 3-way. And you don't have the stack nor the position to really go for it and risk it. With AQ+ and prob. (10-10?) JJ+ I would give it a shot tho.

In a sattelite this is not even a marginal call.
Clear as day fold. You only call KK+ there.

You said it yourself already. If BTN and SB had folded, then we have a snap call with AJ, because we beat COs range, and we are the second shortest stack, so we clearly cant hope to fold our way to the money. However when BTN has called, that totally changes things, and we have a pretty trivial fold. Now we just hope, that BTN can bust CO, so that we are one player closer to the money. And then hopefully we can find some good spots to open shove or reshove as the now shortest stack.

Thank you, glad to know I was thinking the right way. Will you call AQo and TT here?

I am so worried about the BTN calling range here, that I might even consider folding AKo and JJ.
