Default $6.50 - AJo is not the nutz?!

Two AJo hands for ya...

First, UTG limper was 30/20. UTG+1, was 30/0 thus far for the tournament... SB was average, BB had been tight. Is pushing too much? Is folding too weak?!

UTG (t3734)
UTG+1 (t1015)
MP1 (t2041)
CO (t2765)
Hero (t1305)
SB (t1225)
BB (t1415)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t100, UTG+1 calls t100, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, HERO...


SECOND HAND: UTG had been sitting out like the whole tourney so had no idea on him. And SB being small stack threw me a bit here, but he had generally sucked. Should I shove and take those chippies in the middle now, or check and see a flop?

1: I'm folding here, close given reads but you can never underestimate the stupidity of $6.5 players. My standard is 99+ AQ+ (I'd add AJs when you have a little less in your stack, but maybe AJs is a push given reads)

2: I would push readless, but I agree with Da GOAT here.

i would fold the first hand and check the second. you know that if two people put 100 in then at least one of them will feel obliged to call you with QTs, K9s etc. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] pushing over limpers at the 6.50s usually isn't a good move unless you have a really good hand.

Hand 2 I was readless... UTG had been sitting out as in not dealt any cards... he'd only just woken up.

I generally push both though hand 1 is closer. Hand 2 definte unless SB is been tricky but as you said he sucks so I shove.
