($12) AQo on the button, weird raise from a shortstack
Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t80/t160 9 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: t1655 UTG+1: t1690 MP1: t1905 MP2: t2225 MP3: t1470 CO: t1645 Hero: t1400 SB: t980 BB: t530 Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t400</font>, Hero? Argh, situations like this are always making me cry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The villain was pretty calm from the very begining of the game. WTF is this weird raise when he only has 10bb? Push or fold?

Re: ($12) AQo on the button, weird raise from a shortstack
He either has a monster, mis-clicked, or it is a weak steal attempt on the short blinds. Kind of smells like he wants to get pushed over. I would probably let it go, unless you had a loose read, which it doesn't sound like.

I think he has a hand as BB should pretty much call with anything. Fold

Nothing weird with that raise. He just realised that he cant make it 3 x BB, but is too chicken to push. You need to shove here. I think you are ahead.

Re: ($12) AQo on the button, weird raise from a shortstack
Harrington (in HOH III) states that towards the end of a single table tournament that players fall in love with the idea of 'First in Vigourish' and throw away perfectly playable hands. Although this isnt the end of the tournament this hand is an example of a playable hand against a pre flop raiser when you have a low M (although not low relative to the rest of the table). Shove.

Re: ($12) AQo on the button, weird raise from a shortstack
Why weird? This is a standard 2.5x times raise from a guy that either
(1) doesn't know that he can/should shove any hand that he wants to play in the first place (2) wants action on his monster I fold unless I've seen him raise light and I think AQ is nicely ahead of his range. In that case I shove.
