AQ Nearing Final table - What's your line?

$33 MTT, down to 2 tables, 14 left.

Initial bettor is a bit loose, likes to play a lot of pots. Raiser won his all in about 25 hands ago with KQ vs AK and sucked out. Since then he has shown down AK KK and JJ, running hot.

I was going to push vs the initial bettor, but the raiser had me covered. Is this a place where I push anyway?

Would you play this hand differently?

Thanks!

Are the blinds increasing soon? As of now i say no you have enough chips to wait until you are doing the intial raising or re-raising. After a pot has been opened and re-raised, you need a premium hand to join in. I would fold here and look to make a move soon.

Fold.

AQ just sucks in reraised pots. The button rarely has a worse hand that you here. The small reraise is a relative sign of strength. You should fold this without much though usually.

You've got enough to fold this.

Thanks everyone. I did indeed fold preflop on here. I thought that I had enough to fold, and I smelled a large rat.
