Default Final 3 - AQ OOP/over-raise?

Down to the final 3 players of one of those small buyin large field rebuys on Stars. I'm the BB, villain is button and both players have become aggressive since we got short-handed, after playing fairly passive previously at the FT...

30k/60k (3k ante)

Opp 1: 1,809,364 in chips
Opp 2: 2,509,266 in chips
I have: 2,760,870 in chips

Dealt to dogsballs [Qh As]
Opp 1 raises 180,000 to 240,000
Opp 2 folds
I set opp in for the other 1,566,364 in his stack.


Ok for the over-raise OOP? Or would you flat call mebbe..?

nice to see you put my chips to good use, congrats on FT.

This hand im pretty sure i push. Raising any other amount sucks and i really don't like smooth calling OOP. Not to gorget that AQ is a MONSTER 3 handed

Heh, I remember the name, tho I knocked a fistful of players out late. Apologies for that.

yah, I thought the exact same - any raise and I might as well shove OOP. And I hate to let him in if he's raising light.

you're the STT-er, you tell us [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I guess you're not used to having decent blinds once you hit the final 3 eh? I would just reraise to 700k and fold to a push. maybe weak, whatever.

yeah, I don't get this either. It seems crazy to even consider folding preflop...his push range is never gonna be that tight for you to fold AQ getting over 2-1.

oops, I thought it was the guy who had you covered (or had teh same stack) that was villain. I need to learn to read.

do you think the 3betting range in that case would be large enough to call with AQ? I guess it depends on previous action.

In regards to the actual action, yeah it looks good to me.
