Hi everyone,
It’s the final tale of a $20 re buy tourney. 8 left and top 5 get paid. Prize money is as follows 1-$1750 2nd-950 3rd-600 4th-300 5th-Players agreed on a safety $100 6th-gets a free entry to next weeks tournament. We had one huge stack and the rest of the players about even. Here’s the chip count.

Seat 2 Hero- 4700 sb
Seat 3- 2800 bb
Seat 4- 3600
Seat 5- 6100
Sear6- 4400
Seat 7- about 24000
Seat 8- 8400
Seat 9 –2000

Blinds are at 200/400 and the button is a seat 9. utg (seat 4) limps, utg+1 (seat 5) limps as well. It’s folded around to me in the sb and I find AQo. utg is an elderly lady who claims it’s her first time playing, others on the table seem to believe this and from the one hand I’ve seen her play, where she limped in with AK and checked it down until she hit a straight on the river I believe her. No read on seat 5. I don’t know if this plays into your decision but once we get into the money, these players tend to offer a deal based on chip count regardless of stack size. So what’s your move?

With two people alread in would just call and see what flops. I would assum that seat 5 has some kind of hand to be putting in 400. Raising it to 1200 would put a lot of your money at risk, and you then risk one of the short stacks raising you all their money.

I am always leary of marginal hands around short stacks. I would hate to wake seat 4 up and have him re-raise it to 3600.

I would go get that T1400 (200+400+400+400). You likely have the best hand. Unless the big stack has a monster, it's likely he would have raised with any small-medium pair or AK. It would be tough for him to call an all in w/ out a big hand. The lady would likely call you with much worse hands than yours. This is a nice little chance for you to pick up a nice sized pot, or possibly double up.
I would go all in.

Yeah I wanted the 1400 out there so I pushed in. Suprisingly I got called by seat 5 who showed KJ and hit his king on the flop. I was just wondering if my play here was a little too aggreasive.
