AQos getting me in trouble again..

[SirJoker]

Just wondering if I played this right.

Was late in the tourny with 12 people left, Top 9 pays.
Avg Stack around 14k I had 6k, blinds are 600/1200 with the blinds about to go up to 800/1600. 12 people left and only 1 person was shorter stack then me, and he had around 5k.

Hero SB 6k AQos
Villan1 4k 44
Villan2 12k AKos

I get AQos in the SB and I was hoping to limp in (3 in the pot that includes the BB) and just hope I hit something before I invested alot and someone from MP raised it the min amount and I knew that just calling was going to eat up 1/3 of my stack so I went ahead and reraised it and both guys called,
One of them showing AKos and the other showed 44. Then the 4's held up, I mean with the blinds the way they was and about to go up, I would have had just 3x BBs being only 2 orbits . Was it correct for me to reraise all in or just called ? My thought process was to try to get the BB out and isolate the MP guy. Thanks guys and girls.

AQ's a pretty strong hand short handed. I think your only two options are to push pre-flop or call with the intent to push on any flop (stop-and-go). Just ran into a couple of better hands.

That is fine the AK sucked but there is only so much yu can do.

This push is fine.

Heh.

Bubble considerations can change things, but not when you're this short stacked. He's got some folding equity.

Those mini-raises can mean anything from AA to JTo.

Heh. I'm not saying you do, but some do. It's a mini-raise. Mini-raising preflop = always dumb. Always.
