$12 AQ bubble facing minraise
 

Shortstack seems solid. Raiser hasn't done anything weird yet, this seemed suspicious. What's our move here?

I push very fast.

Even if he has some kind of hand, button was probably targetting the BB, not you, and you have a tremendous FE + a good hand.

I push for the same reasons.

It's not really that suspicous, a lot of people at these levels on the bubble will min raise as they think they have a decent chance of stealing without commiting all their chips (obv they are wrong and all ;D) but this is an insta push.

Re: $12 AQ bubble facing minraise
 

If he was stealing, then a decent raise will get him out of the way as well as a push. Is the push needed

Re: $12 AQ bubble facing minraise
 

You don't want him coming back over the top of you, and more importantly you want to maximize your fold equity, so yeah--you need to push.

My move here is to push and make a note if he folds, and make a note if he calls

Re: $12 AQ bubble facing minraise
 

Yeah, in retrospect I should have shoved, actually just called hoping to either get the button to shove so I can isojam, or keep the pot small if he doesn't. Bad reasoning probably. As is, the button folded, flop was ace high, I open shove and stack QQ, lol results orientedaments
