Not thrilled to do this but I feel I must and always do. Is this correct?

Re: AJ UTG 22 tourny
 

Looks fine. To me, AT is the borderline here, unless the blinds are about to go up. A9, I fold.

Re: AJ UTG 22 tourny
 

I would also push. The blinds are about to hit you, and you only have 6BB. Push now while you still have folding equity. AJo is not a great hand, but it is probably better than the one you will get in the BB or SB.

Re: AJ UTG 22 tourny
 

Given your stack and the blinds, you don't have a choice. I'd be pushing A9 as well. It's tough but you have much better fold equity with 650 than 500 and AJ is enough above average to demand this play.

I'm not so sure about this.

500 is 5xBB now, and still more than 3xBB even when the blinds go up.

I'd say you have *slightly* more fold equity with 650, but you're UTG at the moment.

With a slightly worse hand than AJ, I'd be fine with folding now and then pushing from late position with 500 with any kind of excuse for a hand.

I'm still pushing AJ here, of course, just not so sure about medium aces. But I guess it's a minor quibble.

Re: AJ UTG 22 tourny
 

That's something I considered but relative to the other stacks, t150 can actually make a difference and AJ isn't total garbage. I'd much rather push that OOP with 650 than potentially push K8s with 500 in LP *IF* I get the vigorish.

That's just me though.
