Been playing with these guys for a couple of orbits.  Marcio had seemed pretty solid up to this point, not too out of hand.  He 3bet stole from me a couple of times when I was position raising from the cutoff or button, based on history and reads, is this a call? 

My image has been mostly TAG, but I have been picking my spots to steal.

Thoughts?

eh you have a lot of chips but at the same time if he has 3bet you multiple times before and you folded each time i might be inclined to call

If you've been chipping away risk free, I would probably say just fold it and continue to grind.  This guys probably not getting too out of line here since you could hurt his stack pretty good, and I'm thinking that his range probably has you in tough shape since he'll rarely be showing up with A,10.A,J.K,Q etc. in this spot.

One more note...I'd much rather be betting/shoving with AQ than calling off my whole stack with it

 I really don't see a reason to call this ridiculous shove. He could definitely be making a play here or he could have QQ+ thinking that you are getting tired of him 3 betting you and you might call this off light. I think it's way too many chips to risk with just AQ here. Just continue to play your game. I'm sure he'll do this again and double you up.

I can find a fold here. Your prolly flipping or cruched with AK. If his solid I don't see him showing A10,AJ to much. You may be able to put KQs in his range, but that seems like a massive spew, espeacially if his been paying attention to you.
