Re: 6.50 - A couple of AQ hands feeling pressure
 

The first hand I am folding readless. We have to call off way too much here and certainly aren't priced in. I would be calling the shove w/ AK, QQ+ here, AQo is just a bit too weak. Reads on the shover are important b/c I can see a call vs very loose opponents.

2nd hand with blinds so large and hero with 4 BBs we have to get it in here. Shorty will shove lightly and we can easily be ahead of flat caller (especially in a 6.50).

if u folded the first hand i believe you played them both well, the 2nd one is basically just a crappy spot

Re: 6.50 - A couple of AQ hands feeling pressure
 

I did fold the first one but was more unsure about the second one. I just hated the situation of being so short and likely the only premium hand i'll get, and i get a shove and caller before me.
