According to the poll, most people would have folded AQs because of the raise and the call. I wasn't going to fold the hand short handed with it costing 450 per round when my stack was 1180. The UTG could have had anything like Ax or any high cards since he was short stacked and about to face the blinds. The Button did not necessarily have a monster hand by calling the raiser since it was short handed play. I had AQs and was also on a short stack so it would have been tough to fold AQs. I was surprised to see the chip leader go all-in and the UTG call for all his chips. Now I knew that my hand was probably not good. I felt that I could surely get third and possibly second if I made an outrageous fold here so I did the unthinkable and folded (Yes I know that this might sound crazy).

UTG: A2
Button: AA
Small Blind(me): AQs
Big Blind: KK

Board: 4d, 5d, 2d, Td, Jc

Big Blind takes the hand with king high flush eliminating the other two players making me second. It worked out like I imagined it would... except for the fact that I would have flopped the nut flush!!!
