Pre i squeeze for value, i don´t wanna play a mw pot oop with AQ + CO and BU are capable of calling with worse.
Usually i don´t stack off with AQ but SB is a reg and knwos i´m aggro + his play just doesn´t make sense. If he had AA KK QQ JJ AK he´d squeez for value himself. So maybe he has something like 88 99 TT and thinks i´m squeezing with air.
Thoughts?

just because of this read "reg and knwos i´m aggro" i am more inclined to think he is doing this with strong hand because he is expecting u to squuueze quite a lot in this spot.

and if he knows u are aggro u should do this with 99+ including sometimes AA in his range

I think I call, too.
Since CO and especially BU are fish/semifish I think you shouldn't be squeezing too light in this spot, at least BU will call you quite a bit.
Having said that imo as you (Becks) said I also think he rather squeezes JJ+ or even TT+ himself for value because he can't expect you to go too crazy and squeeze air and because he expects to get calls from worse by the fish.

Therefore I think you're up against small PPs a lot which means the call is +EV since there's so much dead money in the pot already.

When you SB smooth calls preflop and then resqueezes with BU's calls for the raise and squeeze you can be sure to be ahead of his range. Usually he has something like med-high pockets like 77-JJ that he didn't want to 3bet and AQ,AJ for the same reason.
Bu also shouldn't be ahead too often.
I would also stack off against them.

Snap call for the reasons already mentioned above

I'd even consider calling stuff like QJ and KQ depending on SB, since some people have a pp 99% of the time here
