Preflop Decision ... why am I confused? (w/ Pic)

I fold here quickly, you can call if you love variance.

I don't see how either pushing or folding can be bad here.

I would need a solid read on EM2 being unlikely to squeeze to not get it in here. BB has AQ.

I didn't think EM2 was a 18/14 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

How far up in stakes do those stats seem to work?

He puts chips in more than that from what I've seen - maybe there is some FR in there though. Anyway, nobody has ever said that EM2 was some kind of rock-crashing genius, just that he has very good fundamentals and can play lots of tables without letting the standard slip much.

i'd fold. even maniacs don't push over that kind of action with AQ- very often. most maniacs just open A2 from utg.

[RiverHebrew2]

This is sickening- I'd play it safe and fold because you're getting 3:2 odds with AK when it can be easily dominated and there's no FE except vs EmpireMaker 2 to isolate. So I think I'd fold.

[Isura]

close but I call

[trplthrt]

I guess I am a bit nittish. I fold here almost always.

Not too worried about EM2, but I guess advocating shove is hoping for QQ from the BB? I think AA and KK is just way too frequent here, seems too thin for a hero play.
