In a vacuum? Usually no. A competent UTG raiser will not be raising something that is behind AQ. He certainly wouldn't fold a 2400 pot for 900 chips with whatever he did raise with.

I have to assume you had some read to make that push. If you share that with us, we can give you better advice.

this is read dependent. Usually, 5handed, AQ is a really strong hand. If UTG has been really tight, this could be a fold. but i guess readless, yeh, this is cool.

I think this is just about strong enough, readless that is. You're getting q. desperate.

Well, I think a random villain at the 16's would open with AT+ , KJ+, 44+...or something like that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is a pretty easy shove IMO.

No so sure that this is an easy shove without a read... you are giving villan 2.5/1 on the call and he has enough chips to make it, unless you have been very very tight he made a mistake by folding here.

Having said that the blinds are on the way to you to hoover up any remaining fold equity so its a good a spot for a race as any!

Like the posters above said, this kind of situation is read dependant.
