AQ on the button to a middle position raise, late tourney
Hi people, this is my first post here. I would be thankfull if you show your insight on this hand. My read on MP2 is that is he isnt that strong of a player, he plays around 20% of his hands. So his range seems quite wide. My play is the right one or?

Standard. He'd have to be really tight for this to be wrong. As he's not, it very right. Calling off 25% of your chips to play a pot which will be over half your remaining stack is not really an option and folding AQo against a player this loose would be pretty weak.

Re: AQ on the button to a middle position raise, late tourney
He might be PLAYING 20% of his hands, but how many is he RAISING?
Then, think about AQ off against this range. You are prolly slightly ahead, or a big doggie I agree you cant call, you must raise or fold. John feeney has a good article, 'do you pass the AQ test'. He basically argues that if the initial raiser is tight, then you are best to fold. HOH suggests calling with AQs, but folding AQ off against a raise. If i was on button, and he in the co, i love your play The earlier the raiser is to the utg, the easier i find a fold

Re: AQ on the button to a middle position raise, late tourney
i kinda agree with omaha here
the closer to UTG the more i fold he might be loose but he raised from MP thats the dangerous thing about loose players they can have a monster without you knowing even knowing he has a wide range doesnt mean you should automaticly put him on something like KJ Qeustion: would anybody reraise 2x-3x to represent a big pair here ?

Against an active opponent, late in a tourny, with these size stacks, this is an easy push.
