Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1215)
UTG (t750)
UTG+1 (t460)
MP1 (t925)
MP2 (t1060)
MP3 (t905)
CO (t585)
Hero (t1110)
SB (t990)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t600</font>, MP2 folds, Hero ???

Does Hero think twice before folding, or does he give his fellow $11 player less credit?

Lay this one down, even if you have him beat its most likely not by much. Its not worth so many chips so early.

The best realistic case for you is if he has a mid-low PP, and then its a coinflip. He probably has a good PP or AK, in either case you will be a bit further behind. Only ever make this call if you are playing against me.

This early in the tournament I call from the button. In the cutoff I'd maybe raise 75-90 to buy the button as I feel much better playing this hand post flop with good position.

I would fold.

When you raise to 150 preflop are you thinking that that has a good chance of making the limper let go of his hand? If not, 90 is probably enough to make the blinds let go of hands they don't like.

You're saying you fold on your first action?

Sorry, I meant to say that I'd fold behind the reraise.

I don't think that mucking AQo behind a limper is a terrible thing. In this case I figured his MP limp was not a deceptive play. Just a bummer that BB woke up with something here.
