Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
Party 34K, 2nd hour, about 1000 left, avg 2100. My image isnt exactly "tight", but I have only shown down AK vs short stacked QT, so maybe Im just getting good cards
***** Hand History for Game 2502744984 ***** NL Texas Hold'em Trny:14671855 Level:5 Blinds (50/100) - Monday, August 08, 23:27:23 EDT 2005 Table $34,000 Guaranteed(419568) Table #21 (Real Money) Seat 5 is the button Total number of players : 10 Seat 2: ( $2882 ) Seat 5: ( $3440 ) HERO: ( $1745 ) Seat 8: ( $3513 ) Seat 10 $3640 ) Seat 9: ( $1314 ) Seat 6: ( $1267 ) Seat 1: ( $4505 ) Seat 3: ( $1950 ) Seat 4: ( $2760 ) Trny:14671855 Level:5 Blinds (50/100) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to HERO [Ac Qd ] 2 fold Seat 10 calls Folded to SB who completed I am in the BB Seat 10, limp-called a similar bet earlier and bet 75% of the pot when I checked the flop. I folded. I have been raising a good bit from my BB. I won a few pots uncontested, and the one I lost to him, He seems to be as aware of a 30$ PP player as I have seen. So whats my line?? 16xBB after posting, Villan has been limping enough that my hand figures to be a pretty good favorite against his range. If I bet out a reasonable amount PF, he will most likely call. I dont want to build a big pot OOP with AQ, but I am having a hard time checking such a strong hand. I was hoping for a few limpers, or a late position raise, so I could push or Stop and GO. No luck. Is there any good way to play this hand? |

Re: Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
I agree that I don't want to build a pot OOP with a big stack who can think having position on me.
Check and see a flop. Some may find this weak, but you can make a lot if someone has a weak A or Q, and if you miss, you miss, oh well. Regards, Woodguy |

Re: Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
Yeah, you have a good point. I was just worried I was getting too short to take the passive route. Its such an akward spot with 16x. Much rather have 25 or 10. blah

Re: Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
This is a spot where I think checking is good. I just had a similar hand in a $20 MTT when a lp player limped, but an aggressive big stack was in the big blind, so I completed the SB. I wanted to raise with 14bb, but it sucks putting so much money in when you will miss 2/3 of the time and be out of position postflop.

Re: Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
Push you push-monkey.
If he limped ak/aa/kk/qq then bully for him. Otherwise take the pot or a race. There are 1000 players left. If you want to gamble raise to T450 and play the hand oop. Checking is weak because you probably have the best hand. I don't think its a good idea to trap or give lots of free cards when you have no idea what you opponents are holding. |

Re: Tough spot with AQ medium stacked
Im more of a push Golden Retriever. A monkey would think through his hands much better than I normally do.
Also, I play fetch extraordinarily well, and am more well known for my ravishing good looks than intelligence. |
