A loose cutoff opens, the button flat-calls, and the small blind folds. You're in the big blind with A♥Q♥.

Raiser-plus-caller, and you hold A♥Q♥ in the BB. Best?

WhySqueeze. The caller's flat caps him below a four-bet, and the loose opener is often weak - both are squeezed by a large three-bet, with the dead money already in the pot sweetening it. A-Q has real equity when called.
What happensYou squeeze to 3,400; both fold.  You collect the dead money.
A raiser and a caller is the textbook squeeze setup - a big three-bet over the top put both in a bind and took the pot plus the dead money pre-flop.

Squeeze against a raiser-plus-caller: the caller is capped and the opener often weak, so a large three-bet wins the pot and the dead money.
