Both CO and UTG have sat down in the last orbit. UTG sat down with some weird number like $30.27, so I assume he's not very good. He got the extra $10 without a showdown.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed)

UTG ($39.15)
MP ($68.95)
CO ($25.80)
Hero ($49.25)
SB ($50)
BB ($49.30)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG raises to $2, 1 fold, CO calls $2, Hero calls $2, 2 folds.

Calling is standard for me vs. unknowns.

Flop: ($6.75) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 players)
UTG bets $3, CO folds, Hero raises to $9, UTG calls $6.

I feel like my raise should've been a little bigger here. $12?

Turn: ($24.75) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 players)
UTG bets $3, Hero shoves for value? (UTG has $25 left)

Raise to 11-13 on flop. 12 is great /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I hate these spots. You're either WA/WB and you've built a huge pot with a hand that you don't necessarily want to play a huge pot with, TPGK. This is the reason I'm not a fan of calling raises with AQo, risk of domination. As played I guess you have to shove and hope villain has a weaker Ace or JJ-KK.

Broadway hearts are definately in his range too. Against an relatively unknown I shove here and make a note of his hand if he calls me.

I'm not WA/WB. He could easily be on a draw. I also hate one-liners like 'not playing a huge pot with TPGK'. This is a perfect board to play for stacks with AQ. There are not many hands in his range which are ahead of me.

I shoved, he folded. Thanks for the responses, everyone.
