PokerStars 8500+1500 - NLHE Tournament (STT, 9-man, Regular) - 50/100 Blinds - 4 players

CO: t1750, 18 BBs
Hero (BTN): t2250, 23 BBs
SB: t4190, 42 BBs
BB: t810, 8 BBs (56) VP:40 PFR:8 AF:0.5 3B:12 AS:13 FS:50 CB:0 FC:100 WS:40 W$:54

Preflop: (t150) Hero is BTN with A :heart: 3 :diamond:
1 fold, Hero raises to t250, 1 fold, BB calls t150

Flop: (t550) 7 :club: Q :club: A :club: (2 players)
BB bets t560 all in, Hero ???

I'm not sure what to do here. My instict says i should call because of TP, but i'm not sure about the equity of villain (how to add only clubs on pokerstove / equilab?). I put him on A2+,Q2+,any club and that's about it.
I feel i'm behind against his equity, but given his stack and Bubble situation i don't know.
I ended up folding. Should i just call, thinking he may be aware of Stop'n'Go play and
doing this with marginal hand? Should i just call because of the good pot and covering?
What you would do?

Call always. Unlikely he would have made flush. Better Ax possible but obviously he should be shoving good amount of those preflop. More often this shove is semibluff or some weird Qx than better hand. Also you don't need to beat his range with pot odds you have.

It’s difficult to give a fish a good range and he can shove a lot of worse hands I think. I would call his donk shove as well without reads on him.

Thanx for the good answers . I was curious about my equity here and made some simulations here with a villain range of A2+,Q2+,2c+. I'm not sure if i follow the format correctly though.

I could give him something worse but i don't like his low AF on 56 hands so i took a sane range.
My equity here is ~53%, which is still pretty good and i get enough pot odds to call.
I was afraid perhaps too much. Thanx guys!

It seems all right, but I would normal use equilab to calculate hand ranges.

Thanx @SDK1987, i already use Equilab.
However, i cannot setup a range that has 1-card of a specific suit or even 2-suit of a specific suit.
I definitely can't do that on Pokerstove. Do you know if Equilab support a format for inputing such ranges? It would be handy such in current situation.

You can manually put ranges in to equilab. That should be no problem.
