considering stack sizes, i think i put him all-in on the flop....but i feel compelled to raise this preflop, i hate minraises

[TheFoxNL]

you shove olmost 6k in 600 pot ?
you know how weak that looks
youre hand is already underrated because you called a mini raise from the BB wich you can do with 57o

pre is fine
flop is ok but a raise to 500 might give you some extra info
turn i wanna raise for info but raising flop is cheaper
as played i might just flat the turn and hope for a showdown

I put UTG all in pre, I'm OOP, and the pot is now a big chunk of effective stack sizes.

I think its pretty standard to be honest with no one else in the pot.

I dont understand your plan at all in this hand. It seems like you called pre bc you were worried about him being UTG. If you flop top pair with AQ and these stack sizes, you should be willing to get it in. If not, then fold preflop.

I would raise all in preflop. If I just called preflop, I would put him all in on the flop.

This discussion is strange.

I agree with fees, I'd just fold here, I have no idea what we're beating.
