Default I think all of my options suck here: 20/180

Table sees me as a lucky fish as I outdrew Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] w/ A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on a LP re-steal (at least that's what I thought). However, MP1 wouldn't know this he just moved here a couple of hands ago. Only other hand we've played is he open-min raised and I called in the BB w/ 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] w/ 9k behind 200/400 blinds. I check/folded a K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] flop.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB (t3985)
BB (t27289)
UTG (t4015)
MP1 (t28580)
MP2 (t3600)
CO (t3000)
Hero (t8297)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t1225</font>, Hero?

FWIW BB is a mega-nit

I think calling and pushing are both reasonable.

Folding or reraising less than all-in is not however.

I think folding AQs here is really weak...

I like calling in position and playing poker on the flop.

folding here is pretty bad without some crazy read IMO



pushing is fine, calling is also ok playing in position HU but id often push here....MP1is worthing with a deep stack so you may want to eliminate the stack disadvantage by just shoving

If it's around the bubble (which I assume you're about there) calling &gt; push AI &gt; folding (you have position so and a decent stack so it's worth seeing a flop).

Push. I'll be interested to read the replies but as I see it there are no other options and pushing doesn't suck because he'll call with some worse hands.

Easy call, you have position after the flop.
