Pushing is easy. But calling....

How long have you been at the table with the villain for?

First hand is an easy fold.

However for the second hand, if its first standard raise since 300 hands, i'd consider to fold, otherwise regarding your M, I would move in.

I think you should go with the first hand. UTG+2 with at least 7 ppl at the table he cant be pushing with too bad of a hand, but going all in makes me think he has a middle pair trying to keep out the mediocre hands with overs and with ur stack I think you should be looking to double up to put yourself in decent chip position to make a good run. All of this is assuming hes been pretty active. Anyone else think this way or am I thinking too simple?

Too simple. He probably plays at least AJ+ the same away, and against a range of AJ+ and 66+, OP is in bad shape.

I'd probably shove the AQ unless the standard raise is suspicious. Had he been shoving weak and strong hands alike with 10xBB's and never open shoving with more than that? If so, I'd shove the AQ. But as someone else pointed out, if he had been shove shove shoving, and suddenly made a standard raise, I could see pitching AQ.

I'd want more information in the second hand. If his stack was a push/fold stack prior to the previous steal but is now a standard raise stack, then I'm pushing AQ.

ok... what about this scenario in hand one. The guy has been pushing like 3 hands an orbit stealing blinds but has a smallish stack still bc he just ran into a big hand. Your table is full of pretty weak players and you feel that if you get rid of this guy you can become table captain and start stealing a lot more which theoretically would propel u into a top 5 finish(i know no guarantees for this but lets just assume for arguments sake that this would result). Would it be worth it? Should you be thinking about any of this while making ur decision? What if the blinds go up next hand do still fold hand one?
