24: 20+ BB QAs hand from button

25/50

UTG (1600)
Villain1 (2,130)
Hero (1,185)

UTG is passive, limpy.

Villain1 has been raising just about everytime she has had a chance from LP positions.

UTG limps, Villain1 in CO raises to 225, Hero with QcAc raises to 650, folds, Villain1 goes AI, Hero calls.

Good time to RR. Kinduv an awkward spot, I felt I should RR and look strong with the intent to getting it AI to a 4-bet.

EDITED because the way I wrote it, it looks like I was gonna fold to a 4-bet.

Looks ok, would probably just shove though since I think the 3 bet vs shove folds out hands you want to call.

Are stack sizes right? Folding to a 4 bet would be bad here

Has she been raising limpers, or open-raising from LP. If she has been opening a lot of pots, rather than raising over limpers, then i think u have to give here credit for a legit range here. I don't think that u are ahead of her range and there's not enough dead money (125) to make racing EV+ here. If she had made this move on limpers before, then i think it's a shove.

looks fine based on reads....I probably just push preflop.

I like it... leaving chips behind makes your hand appear stronger. Can't imagine you fold for another 500. I don't think your ahead, but folding is out of the question.

my initial reaction was 'looks fine', but thinking about it I agree with Rupert. i think the only hands you fold here are ones you don't mind getting it all in with.

what are you planning to do if she just calls the reraise and puts you all in on a flop with no A/Q?

i think i initally liked it because i also like the 're-raise when short enough to just shove so as to look stronger' move, but it only makes sense to me when you're hoping to fold some stronger hands, or where you're deep enough to fold to a 4-bet

3 handed and AQs... I'd call a push... It's most likely a coinflip situation if villain has a PP. You dominate most other hands aside from AK...

fair enough, the calling of the push is not in question at all though
