I think this is a horrible call preflop. You are throwing away 10% of your stack, against a raise, with AQs. Opponent could be on AA, KK, QQ, making a move with AQ, Opponent could also have KQ as well. (which is the only reasonable hand you are beating)

I think the push is fine. If you are behind you have plenty of outs.

I don't understand the point of limping AQs in EP in this situation if he's not willing to call up to about a 3xBB PF raise, especially given the presence of other limpers in the pot. If the call was horrible, then the limp was horrible. Given that he did limp, I agree with the call, and of course I agree with the push on that flop.

Without the flush draw I raise the SB lead to something like t150. I think in this situation I might call a push from the PF raiser, fold to a reraise from the SB, and possibly fold to a non-allin reraise from the PF raiser.


I wonder what people's line on the turn (assume it comes a rag) is if you get a) flat-called by the PF raiser; or b) flat-called by the SB.

Without the flush draw, I'd call this and see what he does on the turn, if he checks, I'm getting agressive with this pot. If he bets, I evaluate.

At the flop, a set is not likely if there are no big draws out there, he would probably just smooth call the first bet in hopes you would raise. A set on a scattered board is a very strong hand, and any good player will slow play it. You only have to fear a AA/KK on that flop.

A likely holding is A-K, or a pocket pair lower than QQ.
