Default AQ no pair shove.

Opponent is 20/18/4 over 100 hands and he has been extremely active both pre and post. Is this standard or should I be only doing this with AK due to the improved equity vs QQ?

He has 439, I cover.

i've done this before. i ran some numbers a while ago and with certain assumptions about the opponent it's ok, especially with the backdoor draws. AK sometimes has extra outs but you aren't really doing this for when you get called [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] so AQ is fine.

Obv don't do it often.

Yeah I just did some calculations -- AA-99 is like 2.7% of hands. This guy probably reraises 15% of his hands so I am called 18% of the time.
