I hope to get some great advice from you 2+2'ers -- thanks in advance.
In a $75 buyin no rebuy tournament with 110,000 chips in play the other night -- I have a very tight table image, playing less than one hand an orbit and have not lost a pot all night at showdown always showing TPTK, trips or better and because of this have won a few pots when the flop missed everyone and I bet from around back. Down to last there tables (27 players) -- Top 18 paid but real money doesn't start until the Top 6. I am about 10th overall in chip position with about 8,000 chips. Blinds are 200-400 with 50 ante.
I am dealt AQs in MP, I raise $1,600. MP+1, who just sat down at the table and I haven't seen him before, moves all in over the top with about 12,000 in chips. Everyone folds and it is back to me. I think for a while and fold.
This player then aggressively runs over the table and calls a very solid player's all in (she had KK) with 66 even though it meant risking half his stack - he catches a 6 on the river but that is beside the point. I later spoke with the solid player at the break and she said that he is a habitual bluffer and goes all-in with less than premium hands.
In the moment, do you fold AQs if someone you have no read on moves all-in on you, especially as he also has no read on me since he is new to the table. Do you have to give him credit for AA-QQ or AK?
Thanks so much as this fold has been troubling me.
