AQ in Late Game

[bluewilde]

Aight, I've sorta fit AQ together in my head as far as the early levels go, but how about in later levels and short-handed. It has more value now (I think), but I still play it sort of akwardly. What's the best line here? (MP pushes on the turn, I call)

350 in the pot, you could always push it preflop, if you wanted. I probably would.

i'd push pre-flop. that's a lot of money out there for the taking, and except for the SB who is almost certainly folding, everyone has at most 14x stacks.

after that, i think it's fine. scary call on turn, but i think it's right.

i think mp has ak, a9,k9 or 99

i wouldn't call the push on turn with that straight draw...too likely he has the 9 or 2pair and has you beat

I think I'd push preflop after the 2 limps.
