AQs in SB question

SA125 · #1 08-15-2006, 07:07 PM

I just posted this in MHNL and, being it's a situational question, would also appreciate input on it from the high stakes players.

Situational question. I play full ring live 5-5 and have reads on the players. I don't think the stakes matter, I'm just using it to give an idea through the betting. The avg stack is 500 with more big ones than small ones.

UTG limps then a tricky player in EP makes it 20 str. He could have anything, but AA-JJ, AK-AQ can be ruled out enough to figure it's not in the range. 2 MP caller's and another in LP. UTG isn't likely to limp/re-raise. 3 callers can have PP up to JJ and AQ.

You're in the SB with AQs - your play?

I'd appreciate if some high stakes baller would be kind enough to impart some words of wisdom here about this spot.

you can do either here, but oop w a hand that plays well multi, i don't mind just calling in a full game. i'd raise it some probably 20% or so live.

Thanks la. I had that spot today and, as much as I wanted to make a move because the spot was begging for it, I had 500 behind and would've had to put out 200 to do it. I've done it before no problem, just wanted a take on the play of it in general. Thx again.

I'd reraise in this spot to 120 or so

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the choice is either call or raise enough to take it down. I don't want callers when I'm OOP and need to hit the flop. I want to avoid having to check or move in with air. I'd rather raise big to 175-200. If I get called, then it looks like I'll need a big flop to win.

Other comments appreciated.

CALL. A reraise is probably going to get reraised and a fold will cost you money in the long run.

If I was gonna reraise I would make it like 150. Very dependent on table image, and as others have said either one is fine with me.
