I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Your stack is fine. If you reraise anything decent you are pretty much committing yourself to the pot.

Maybe a bet takes that away, or maybe he had a big pair or hit the flop somehow and you would have just lost more money.

I guess it depends on your reads. You said you had no reads, but your stack is fine so there's nothing wrong with folding that since you missed.

I shove preflop.

Although I do no like calling an early raiser with AQo, I am getting 3.5 to one odds, so I do not fault your call.

Since you have no reads, I have to assume he would be rasing UTG with decent starting hands such as AK, AQ, 99 to AA (maybe 77-88, AJs to A9s).

With a flop of low cards, you are probably way behind now.


If I wanted to test Ak-A9, I might bet t200 to see if he really liked his hand, however, with no reads, check/fold to a bet is fine.

I looks good to me.

Where did you try to win this pot?

[PattdownManiac]

Willperkins the guy is not raising from early position, he is raising from middle position. Early position doesn't exist. Just shove. You are ahead of his range. You are probably ahead of the normal 6.50's calling range. Will, I really don't think that you should be giving hand advice after reading your thought process of assuming a 6.5T player opening from mp has 99, AQ, or better.

[Belgarion]

I fold this against UTG raise cuz you have a big stack and even if you hit a ace on the flop UTG has AK here very often and you will lose you're whole stack

[PattdownManiac]

You guys are paranoid if you think someone opening from utg while 6-handed in the mid-game of a 6.5T has a range that beats AQ.

[JayTee]

His stack isn't fine. There are 525 chips in the pot and he really needs to try and get those since he has some fold equity. Not to mention that he is ahead of an unknown 6.50 raiser's raising and calling range. Anything other than a preflop shove is wrong IMO.
