AQ facing raise and re-raise, no limit tournament

The original raiser probably has a fairly wide range. They’re in late position and they have a history with the minimum raise.

Knowing this (and being generally savvy), the CO will shove with a very wide range as well. I’d image a lot of pairs, a lot of aces and even some broadway are in that mix. AQ is doing very well against that range.

A call here by you will look very strong, and you can safely assume that anyone who raises over the top of your overcall has an absolute monster.

I think that you’re doing well enough against the COs range that it washes the times you actually do run into a monster from the original raiser. The next question is, do you need the chips?

I don’t think this is a bad spot to take a small +EV gamble. Losing doesn’t do much to change your ability to play, and winning gives you the clear chip lead at the table, knocks out a very tough player and builds a little cushion for the shorter stack shoves that will be coming in a blind level or two.

What actually happened: You shoved and the blinds folded. The original raiser showed AK and the CO showed KQ. AK held up and won the pot.

foldy mouldy! a rasie then reraise. scared of the first raise, dont care what it says, the minimum raise smells suspicious.

Obvious fold.

I just saw AQ go bust on a all-in shove against another all-in on WSOP No-Limit 1K Re-Buy final table.

Why bother? Find a better spot.

I understand that the 3-bettor could easily have a wide range, against which we are probably flipping or ahead.
His stack seems perfect for a resteal, and all action is from somewhat late position.

Still, I voted fold. I guess I am a nit, but our stack is so healthy that I dont want to gamble with it. Also we have nothing invested. Even is no third player comes up with a monster, I think the chips we can loose is worth more than those we can win at this point.

Fold. Given the play of the initial raiser, one could expect the 3-bet from the CO. Still the CO has 17x BB, so could certainly have a hand here. BB also has a similar stack to CO, so this may not be a squeeze. I put him on a hand better than KQ.

It is a fold/call situation. Raising is by far the worst option since you are only getting called if you are way behind. That being said, your M is over 30, so that is no need to gamble right now; the original raiser has 8K left which puts you in a bet spot should he call or reraise (had he got 3k, this would be a whole diff story since you wold be getting 2:1 on your call).
AQ is a good hand to see the flop, but it might easily be dominated after a raise and a reraise. I would call with AK, QQ or AA, raise with KK. Fold AQ.

Who the hell would risk all their chips in that spot? This is a $300 tournament, fold AQ. This is one of the worst quizzes ever…

I agree with folding. Why risk a 1/3 of my chips against at least one possible over pair?

I had to double check all the information to make sure this quiz was really as easy as it looks. Of course you fold. Unless you have a solid read on BOTH players that they’re just goofing off, this is an easy fold. I would only call/raise with AA-QQ, and maybe AKs (but just barely). Easy fold here, your stack is comfy and there’s no need to risk everything on a mediocre situation.

Yeah pretty straight forward. All of you that voted call or raise, where do you guys play at…LOL.

In this case even they both could be in a wide range, AQo doesn’t worth the risk that calling takes. We are in shape to wait for much better situations and take advantage of the desperate moves that soon will come. FOLD and wish other call him
Thanks DHQ

To play AQo against any 3bet is just totally dumb, especially in this situation, where a call will risk 1/3 of your stack. Though you have position after the flop, you are not guaranteed to see the flop on this call. There is a good chance if you call that the hijack will shove and make you risk almost your whole stack with AQo, which you don’t want to be in.

Yeah, I think you have to fold this. Its not a completely obvious fold as some people are claiming, but I think the risk is too heavy to warrant taking a chance with 1/3rd of your stack, and possibly being forced to either give that up or put the rest in. The original raiser could have a monster, the all in could have a monster, and there are still the blinds behind you. Its unlikley for each one, but you put them all together and theres a very real chance you bump into trouble. A/Q off is a nice hand, but not a killer one. Considering youre sitting on a nice stack and this situation has potential disaster written all over it, just side step your way out of it and wait for more advantageous spots.

Easy fold here, no reason to get involved here with what is probably a race. The C/O could easily have a worse ace but you still have 3 people to act after you. Fold or all-in is the play. I like fold

i need a book “poker for dummies” cuz i dunno shit about it.

u probably wana instafold here.

FOLD. Even if you have the best starting hand, there are 3-4 unders held by the other 2 players that have an equal chance of hitting, or maybe some of your outs are taken as we saw was the case. You have no need to risk your chips here. you want to lose 40% of your stack to a moron who raises with 76s and hits the 6? A pair is a pair when all you have is an A. Play your game; it’s working.

with ~50xBB no need to gamble with what is most likely the second best hand -> fold.

Fold
1)Domination: AK, AA, KK, QQ
2)You have a big stack relative to the blinds; you can choose a better spot than calling a disproportionate all-in shove.
3) Coin flipping behind the edge- big move with small pair is edging you out
4) 2 players and a raiser left to act.
