No, I have no particular reason to believe his raise means AA or that kind of thing.

Really? I don't think it's that obvious..

UTG makes a big raise that seems like he doesn't want action at a not particularly aggressive table, and I'm the only stack that can really cripple him.

The chip leader is opening with the short (but not so short that they can't fold) stack in the BB. Even UTG, this is a pretty natural spot to go for a steal. durron hasn't said much about how aggressive the big stack is, but I think this is a pretty easy push unless you're talking about a very tight opponent, or one who will call your push with 33 on a regular basis here.

Obviously he called and I lost, I am looking for confirmation.

[Nottom]

Not the easiest, but its pretty easy.

What about 77? I expected him to fold 77 here but he was one of those opponents it was hard to tell (IMO anyway).

[golfcchs]

Whats the buy in? Also I don't think this is an easy push only because you have position and he is the only guy here that can knock you out. If the other short stacks are not that good then I don't push

[psyduck]

I think you guys underestimate the times villain will call with a small pair or KQ at the lower limits.

Seriously, I thought this was a pretty standard fold. Why tangle with the big stack when you have position on him and can keep stealing off of the smaller ones?

Because he doesn't want to tangle with me either a lot of the time. Right?

I am jumping for joy when I get called by KQ. Getting called by dominated A's or Q's is a wonderful thing and is the best thing you can ask for when pushing with AQ - you certainly want him to call with those rather than folding them.

My intuition is that as you shrink the size of one of the other two stacks, this push gets worse. As is, they are pretty well stacked - both still have 10 BBs - so your equity shouldn't be so huge that AQ is a bad push here against the range that the chip leader will open with.

What buyin is this because at lower buyins villair will usually call with mid or low pair.
