AQ late in Stars 5.50 rebuy would like some help
43 players remain Stars 5.50 rebuy. Average stack about 120k Have 45k and blinds are 4k/8k. Im in the second seat. Player UTG (weak/loose) just lost a huge pot leaving him with 20k left) I pick up AQ here. The player UTG (as i figured hed do with any 2 cards) pushes in his stack. I think about it and reraise the rest of my stack. BB(120k) picks up AK and calls. UTG has K4. I got excited when the flop brought a queen but turn was a king and it was all over for me.
Should I have mucked here or did i make the right decision? I am just starting to play a lot of mtts. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. |

Re: AQ late in Stars 5.50 rebuy would like some help
I would call here, and probably fold to any big raise preflop. Going all-in is my second choise, but I hate going all-in with AQ (I prefer not to do it with AK as well). To easy to lose against to many hands.
The problem with going all-in with AQ in that spot is that you are 100% sure to be the underdog if called. I would prefer to go all-in with a hand like 67 suited in this spot. But calling seems to be the best. As this pot turned out, you would probably have won it if you had called preflop, by pushing after flop. |

Re: AQ late in Stars 5.50 rebuy would like some help
20k is way too many chips to just call with AQ and then fold to a re-raise. It's pretty bad poker to put 1/2 your stack in and then fold to a re-raise, thereby leaving yourself with 3 BB and first to act next hand. Also, it would cost you 25k to win 92.6k(antes are 400), which is 3.794-1. The only hand where you're worse of a dog than that is AA and that's pretty unlikely. Pushing is absolutely the right play, with folding a very distant second and calling nowhere on the radar screen.
