I like shoving here. He's probably going to be bullying, you're new to the table, and it sets a real precedent. He might be doing this with AQ and he might fold JJ here to a quick shove. This is the time to accumulate.

your stack isnt nearly big enough to flat call. I push if he feels loose and fold if he feels tight. What was his name?

If you fold AK to a reraise, what aren't you going to fold.

I probably shove this. He might make a mistake and fold a PP. He might make a bigger mistake and call with AQ (even if he makes this laydown, you become chip leader).

If he calls with the PP, you're flipping to be chip leader by a pretty decent margin, which would allow you to really accumulate as the bubble approaches.

If he has AA/KK...um, oh well.

So MP1 reraised an EP raiser with tons of players left behind and has AQ? I doubt it. I think I vomit, clean it up, then push, followed by cry.

If you didn't follow

Vomit ----&gt; Clean -----&gt; Push ------&gt; Cry
