Default AQs - - - lots of action.

What should I do in this spot? Or what mistakes did I make?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t4415)
SB (t685)
BB (t1370)
UTG (t3060)
Jon_AK (t3655)
MP1 (t2820)
MP2 (t815)
MP3 (t1025)
CO (t4545)

Preflop: Jon_AK is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Jon_AK raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t685</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1070</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Jon_AK?????

I don't think the re-raise is a bad play. But with all that action you have to assume you are dominated or at best racing.
It is still early, you are only losing 6bb by folding, and UTG is probably shoving flop. I would wait for a better spot.

I would have flat-called the UTG miniraise because I don't mind a big multiway pot with AQs. I think re-raising in UTG+1 is a little loose here.

As played, I think you should fold. It now looks like UTG has a very strong hand. (unless this is a freeroll; in that case, I rrse allin)

I just call preflop. Re-raising isn't terrible here, but I call most of the time.

Of course, I fold after a 4 bet and a 5 bet preflop.

Call the UTG raise - afterwards it's a clear fold.

I like your reraise. It will help to define your hand when it's folded around to the original raiser, and if someone behind you wakes up with a big hand, they'll let you know it.

Now they are letting you know it, so you need to fold.
