AQs early in a casino tourny

[JRBeav]

Early in the tourny blinds are 25/50 @ a 9 handed table with rebuys still available to most players at the table. My read on the table is loose aggressive.

Hero is CO and I have only played two hands and exposed an A8o that I limped in the BB with. My table image is tight.

UTG (t1900) limps
UTG+1 (t2100) limps
MP1 folds
MP2 folds
MP3 folds
Hero (t2050)A /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif Raises t250
button (t6200) calls (this guy will call and/or raise with any hand. I have already seen him call raises with 72s and 107o and raise with Q10o...he won all three hands flopped sets on the first two and a straight on the third)

Both blinds fold and both limpers call pot is t1175:

Flop 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifq /images/graemlins/heart.gif

First two players check Hero bets t1000 everyone calls. pot is t5175

Turn: 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

What next? With two pair and the loose nature of the table I feel committed to this pot and I push. Was this a mistake?

You know what.. I could actually see somebody check-folding here in your shoes.. If blinds were higher, no, you probably should push on the flop.

Two limpers call off 1/2 of their stack and don't push all in?!

That's ringing in my ears that somebody flopped a monster, and somebody very easily could have limped/called a raise holding J-10. After the board pairs, I can see running for the hills. You still have 16 BB's, and it's still early.. I wouldn't see any fault with folding. Q-9 kills you.. and if somebody has Q-8 they slow down are in check-fold mode too..



If you were going to committ yourself to the pot anyway, you should have just push all-in on the flop though!

You are definitely pot-committed, but what are your outs here?

Against TJ you still have outs. Against a lone 9 you still have outs.

You're ahead of a flush draw...

I don't know. I push since over half my stack is already in the middle. Don't want to give any free cards to someone on a flush draw.

I want some others to check this out out.
