Give stack sizes.

This is an easy push.

I like a slightly bigger raise PF. You're not in great position and a lot of limpers, I'd make it 200 to go.

1st position limps, hmmm.

I strongly feel that someone with ak, aq,aj, HPP, is raising here. why limp in? He then calls your raise, maybe a stronger raise with all the limpers there would have pushed him off his hand. Hard lay down, IDK, i prolly would have pushed here also. If he has a 22 or 66, whatever...if he flopped 2 pair in that position, then that is a D O N K....

[SayGN]

I slid, I see a decent number of people limping AQ-AT in ep at this stage and figured he'd probably pay me off. As it was, he had A6.

[black666]

I would push too .. before reading that he had A6, I thought you lost to 66 or 22. You have TPTK with a backdoor FD. The range UTG+1 raises here is pretty wide and you still have some outs when behind (plus, the pot is pretty big by now).

[hamnegger]

put him all in. i think? stack sizes please?

[kenny7]

Don't be too quick posting results,it does influence the responses.

Anyway,without having stacksizes,I'd say this is a push.Although he had A6 here,and you'll occasionally see 22 and 66,I'm pretty sure you'd be ahead more often than not in this situation.However,if stacks are deep,then I'd say a call is the better option.

i think that im gonna push instantly unless i have reads on this person. given its a stt i probably wouldnt so i would push
