Various AQ lategame hands - UTG push, Reraise, Overcall, and folds

[Scotty_12]

Hey all,

In an attempt to improve my game I've been trying to read the forum alot lately, and trying to reply to hands more, what I havent been doing is posting. I have a large batch of hands that I have copy/pasted and haven't got around to posting. Here is batch 1.

Hand 1 - 55 speed - no regulars at the table. I felt this push was pretty standard for 900 in dead money. I am probably being results oriented by posting it.

Hand 2 - Overcalling with AQ

Pusher is a solid reg 16.8 / 10.2 through 4272 hands
I think I can safely take out AA, KK from his range
caller is 28.6 / 14.3 through 28
I called this because I only had 4 BBs

Hand 3 - Folding


Pusher has pushed a ton recently and shown down TT, KT
Caller is is 31.0 vpip, 4.8 pfr through 42 hands.


In hindsight I am wondering if this hand may have been a call.

Hand 4 - Folding

Villian is unknown, havent seen anything from him yet, and he has yet to raise a pot. With 18 bbs I felt it was best to let this go.

Hand 5 - EP villain is 22.3 / 13.6 through a small sample size. A minraise would suggest he is a donk, but as Im sure alot of 22 players can attest, its popular with hands that dominate AQ. With a comfortable stack, Im letting it go.

They all seem standard. hand 2 you can probably find better spots later.
