He has AA. I keep falling for people's traps. The raiser was a pretty tight player (not a total donk), so the minraise must have meant something, right? Would you all do the same?

Any reads of previous raises would be useful here. Maybe some caution if he usually pushes his whole stack.

In saying that, you were just a bit unlucky. The chance of villain folding (and you taking 800 extra) by being pushed off the hand, surely makes this a push? The only other concern is the 1200 stack who will love you raising allin.

Haven't got time for the math, anyone else?

I believe so. You have some FE and maybe a +EV call depending on his range if you didn't have any FE. Too much parity to be waiting out the bubble here, although I might be wrong.

The minraise always has me spooked on the bubble, but I'd probably push this damn thing anyway. And lose, like you did.

I think that SKOORB75's stack and position makes the decision at least somewhat close, though. I wouldn't hate a fold if the big stack had pushed for instance, so I guess it's just a case of reads and wondering how much FE I have.

Yes, I do the same unless my read is very strong, maybe even then. Though to fold AQs with these blinds.
