AQs early in a $33
 

Very early in a 1500 person $33, $5000 added Party Tourney. Neither UTG or UTG+1 has done very much or played any significant hands.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (10 handed)

Hero (t1080)
UTG (t1200)
UTG+1 (t1025)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t80</font>, UTG+1 calls t80, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls t80, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Flop: (t270) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 Bets 175</font>, Hero ???

How about a healthy raise to 400?

You fold. 400 looks good to me.

you're basically gonna be pot commiting yourself anyhow.

Re: AQs early in a $33
 

It seems like any raise would commit you to the pot, so I might call here, get a chance to see what UTG does, and then re-evaluate on the turn. If there's no action behind me on the flop then I can move on a good turn card, and I have position in case a scary card comes off.

I think the 10 on the flop is a scary enough card.

I call and hate it...he may have KQ or KJ enough times to make this profitable.

I fold it and hate it. Call be a tight passive donk, but I'd rather get my $ in with a better hand than AQ on that board. I think he has Q10 more times than KQ or KJ
