Default Re: Trying to look scary and failing miserably

I think there were a couple polls earlier this year, about what are **your** minimum pushing standards for the situation you're describing. I'm certain that AK was the predominant drawing hand for this scenario. And I think that AQs was a very distant 2nd.

Anyway, another thing to think about with a full table like this is that you still have time to be patient. AQs UTG is pretty vulnerable. It's a very pretty hand, but vulnerable. This is even more important due to your stacksize.

Now, with 9 players left, and 500 chips behind(or 350 after the impending blinds), you now have to make a more serious decision. Pot odds are such that you need to win this hand 30% of the time. So I couldn't fault you for pushing and hope you're up against KK or less.
