Default Re: Button AQo vs a raiser

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah - a non all-in raise doesn't leave me with enough to work with postflop.

Calling entices the blinds to play, so I'm not in love with that one.

Fold is a fold.

I guess I like the all-in too. I hate to risk my whole stack on a hand like AQo, but I think in this situation I was probably either ahead or in coinflipsville *if* he called.

The all in vs fold decision is based on your read and risk tolerance.

Like a poster down below says a min raise late is either weakness or a monster.

But be very careful of a larger raise, like 300 or 350. Basically what the player is 'telling' the table that he is playing for all of his chips there if someone comes over the top. Hands like JJ or QQ likely here.
