Pokerstars 15$ Turbo. Not very turbo-like, as the Rock Garden is still full (9 players) with the bb at 150.

I'm average stack with T1200 in BB after posting. Folded to the button who I barely have covered. Villian raises to 450. I have ATs

Hero ???????????????????

Results to follow.

Folds.
You still have way more than enough BB's to make an impact later, why risk it at this stage with a hand that's likely to be either dominated by his severely, or a coin flip.

bump with results.

I push, Villian had QQ and his hand is good. I go out next hand with KQ.

I'm not sure the situation is really this easy, but maybe I'm not giving the button raise enough credit. On the button I raise any two face cards, any ace, any pair. I figure my EV to be over 50% in this hand.

Plus, when the blinds get to 150 with 9 people left in a turbo it becomes a crapshoot. I think you must push smaller edges to win the thing. Since I felt that I had an edge I pushed.

This was my thought process, and I'm interested in whether I was being too aggressive.
