Hero opens with what action? I post this hand because I bootched it big time.

[loose passive]

Fold?

[NYCNative]

By "botched" you mean "played it and ran into AK," yes?

[lastchance]

Hero's got 10x BB, so it's push or fold.

Hero's got AJo, which is a very good hand to move all-in with.

But hero's UTG, and he has somewhat of a stack, and BB's only got 3.5 BB. This is pretty hard... I think I push, but I really don't know.

[Bigwig]

I'd push.

[Nick B.]

2.75, and then consider if somebody pushes.

[adanthar]

You don't have to push but at an $11 you may as well.

[gman420]

Tell me if this is ridiculous

If the BB just posted 100 of his 345 chips, he's prob goin all-in on this hand. Why not limp, let other limp, let the BB go all-in, and then reraise all-in yourself. If someone else raises before it gets to the BB you prob have to lay it down, but you could end up with a pretty profitable scenario - unless you think the big stacks will def call the reraise

[adanthar]

This plan would work better if the BB wasn't an idiot that would probably fold anyway, which since this is a $11 is maybe 90% likely.

[jon_1van]

No, by botched I mean I put in 2.25 BB. Got 2 callers. Saw a 689 flop and check folded.
