Should I make a move?

[callmedonnie]

I pushed , was called by UTG and the other guy folded. He had AQ (I couldn't believe he limped UTG w/ AQ) and he won the race.

Pretty sure you say he raised to 200 UTG?

[Strollen]

Your right Curtain, UTG did raise. I assume that the correct play with his short stack <10x BB is to push with his AQ here?

[curtains]

I would generally push with AQ there, yes

[callmedonnie]

Sorry, he did raise. I was confused. I may have put a stronger raise with that hand if I were him though. I thought this push was fine. Any other opinions. At times you just have to run a race and hope to the coin hits you. I thought with my eights here that this was the time to do that.

I don't like moving allin, I think you are getting called by an UTG raise here almost every time.

So what? You're getting almost 2 to 1 on your money. I'll take coinflips with UTG all day here. Occasionally he's slowplaying a big pair here but mostly not. If you fold down to 690 (and then 640 after SB) you're usually faced with the choice between running a couple of steals with garbage or getting into deep trouble when blinds increase. I'll take the 2 to 1, thanks.

I don't mind coin flip, but when certain players min raise UTG for 33% of their stack, I get very scared. Let's just say that if you catch me doing that, you aren't a coinflip with your 88. But ok probably against a random partypoker player, you are fine.
