First hand: Is this enough of a hand (AJs) to come over the top on an aggressive villan?

Second hand: I think I am a little too in love with KQso...anyone else raise or call the all in here or wait for a better spot.

All thoughts appreciated.

I'd call the raise in the first hand. You're last to act and you don't have to commit too many more chips. Pushing is a bit too aggressive for my tastes.

I play hand 2 the same way. Many times you'll see a pocket pair of sorts in which case you're getting great odds to call. Nice suckout.

[tigerite]

I push both. He only has 11bb in the 2nd hand, so you may as well say that's the effective stack.

As for being conservative first hand, christ, you have AJs. This is HUGE 3-handed.

absolutely, you got it in with the best hand didnt you? Donks love the minraise button, they dont know what to do with their shatty cards most of the time so they just hit it.

Agreed on both counts. Don't raise (rather than push) the second hand unless you will fold to the push. KQ is plenty good enough to push for 11 BBs 3 handed and you are in a position to pwn a bit here anyway.

1. are you serious? of course it us.

2. you are getting 27-16 or so or just over 1.5-1. if you are sure he doesnt have a pair higher than Q's then you have to call here since most times you are in a race situation and you will still have a fair stack even if you lose. maybe i am too loose here also but i am happy to call here.
