yeah easy shove preflop

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

Shove preflop seems ultra-standard.

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

With ante, I'd say standard, but no reads I'd rather play it small. A re-raise pre and you're committed anyway, so if that's the route, push.

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

Yeah, I hate being OOP and I'm not folding AQs here, so I'd probably reraise to 1500.

shove preflop it is....anyone have a recommendation of what size of stack we would stop shoving here?

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

if the positions were reversed, and Hero had AQs in MP1,
no action yet, still a shove, or just a 3x,4xBB raise?

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

Well first of all I would like to say that the general concensus these days is to shove this pre... so every1 above saying a shove is super-standard is correct... personally I never shove this because I am not afraid of flops or playing people post flop... so I am fine with how you played this... and with effective stacks a re-raise is awkward and a shove is a huge overbet that is preety massively exploitable athough probably not recognizable as such by the majority of tournament players...

As for this...

If you were in MP1 with the same hand you would just open raise 600... you wouldnt shove... and no1 is likely to disagree with me on that...

Re: $4 180 AQs oop
 

pretty basic...either push pre (not bad given stacks and action) or take your line which is fine also
