Default Re: AQ late in the tourney

I might have pushed as you did. However, there are some problems. It is good that the initial raiser was a loose big stack. However, 4xBB UTG does not look like a steal raise. Furthermore, the caller flat called for half his stack, which is also not a good sign.

UTG might fold if he was really on a steal, but it is probable both players will call your allin.

Unless someone had AK or QQ-AA, I would not consider this a bad result. Most of the time you make this move, you will get busted out in a 3-way pot. However, my goal at this point is not the $40 for cashing but the top spots at the final table. The push gives you a chance to get back in the game.
