3.40 Turbo on Stars.

Despite his short stack, the UTG raiser was playing very tight. He could be doing this with AJ, or KQ I suppose, but other than that I'm at a flip at best. There are 9 left in the 75/150 blinds (these are becoming very tight lately). I ended up putting him all in, but I'm wondering if it is better to be opening w/AQ instead of reraising a tight player. I still have him covered, however, with the blinds as high as they are, and the number of people left, a loss on the hand is more hurtful than the gain being helpful. Am I correct to put him all in?

I'm trusting your read and folding. You define him as tight, and he's opening from UTG. Even if you give him top 20% of hands, this is right on the edge. I think I'd go with AQs, but not AQo.

I fold with your read.

(he raised t450 with a t770 stack ???)
