Re: AQ SB Line Check
I count 40k in chips on your table; what kind of tournament is this - a 45 player?
Even though the blinds seem conspicuously low, you must be down to last two tables, that is FT bubble or FT bubble + 1, right?
In any case, PF I raise AQ here.
FT bubble (even if the 45 player only pay 7 spots) is a good place to be aggressive. There's no reason to put UTG on a slow played monster; and you'd much rather play your AQ HU than allow the BB to see the flop for free, and the stacks are deep enough not to be too worried about inflating the pot a little.
Chances are your hand is ahead of UTG's, so you don't mind getting more chips in the middle PF, even if you're OOP after the flop. And finally - there's always a chance that they both will fold to your raise.
