Pokerstars $15/1 late game AQ on CO vs reraise from SB

[stephan]

I think the reason why it might be ok to fold is because there are 2 other shorter stacks. I'm really not sure how to play late handed with like 6 people left.

Are there any good guides that tell you how to play these STT? I'm taking a break from cash games because they are so boring.

[ManChild]

also - dont show us the results if you want unbiased answers

If one of the smaller stacks pushes over your t600 raise you have to call, so against them pushing and raising basically does the same. Against biggie you want maximum FE and usually pushing achieves that, also with the small stacks. And you really don't want to raise to t600 and then fold against a guy who has shown his willingness to go broke with a mediocre hand. So just push, that way you only have to make one decision during the hand.

Even with 11BB you guys go into that crazy push like mad faze? You really have to win 2 of those crapshoots to make the top 3.

no you dont, because if you steal blinds effectively you can often get into t he money without getting called on any of your pushes

If you don't want to pushbot, I don't recommend turbos.

[Da GOAT]

as said, straight forward push. OP/Stephen may need to rethink turbos push/fold game, very little pure poker as actually played in them.

i think that if you are calling if somebody reraise you then why dont you go allin from the start?
