5/10 AQ why didn\'t he push?
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $5/$10 5 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $971.20 CO: $985 Hero: $1.094 SB: $501.75 BB: $1.072 Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $25</font>, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $115</font>, 2 folds, UTG calls, CO calls. Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($360, 3 players) UTG checks, CO checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $275</font>, UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $600</font> I don't have a great read on either player. UTG seems like a loose passive donk, and CO seems like a TAG with mild donkish tendencies. My plan was to bet/call a shove from either of these guys, but then CO goes ahead and makes it $600 leaving like $270 behind. It just really looks like a monster, and I'm not sure if I can justify putting all my money in anymore. On the flip side there are very few hands that beat me (55,99, A9 and AK maybe although they can probably be discounted somewhat given the preflop action). What should I do?

Re: 5/10 AQ why didn\'t he push?
with unknowns, i would generally be very cautious in this spot and strongly consider folding. when you say donkish tendencies, can you give a more specific example? with that said, given what we know from your post, i would fold. i think A 5 is a strong candidate in this spot. i would agree with your logic and rule out AK.

"CO seems like a TAG with mild donkish tendencies."
This is enough for me to be happy getting AI in the 3b pot. In spots where villains leave chips behind either read nothing into it or respond the same way.

Re: 5/10 AQ why didn\'t he push?
I generally don't take all that much thought into the bet size versus the push here cause they are basically the same bet. There could be a few cases though: he thinks his 600 bet looks stronger and has a flush draw. Or he could be on a complete bluff knowing he saves a little money if he was wrong about you having nothing.
