greater than 2:1 you're getting!!! How could you not call this?

Sorry, when I was considering folding, I meant folding pre-flop. I don't think there's any way I fold after the re-raise all-in.

I would also call a BB push.

If that is indeed the plan, then hero needs to push.

Let's take the thinking man's approach.

Button is desperate. He has less than 10xBB remaining. IMO, these guys are going to take the next best hand and push it. Now, if villain was first in the pot, I'd put his hand range very wide, but since you entered first, his range is narrow, IMO.

Here's my Hand range:
AJs+, 77+, KQs

AQo has 40% equity against that range. There is t695 in the pot, and t320 to call. Pot odds are 2.17:1 to call. You're pot committed.

If your plan is to call an all-in reraise from any of the remaining players, why not just push? It's not like you are just hoping and praying for a call here.

My intution is telling me to straight push if you are willing to call an allin for the rest of your stack from the BB. Its better to be the aggressor, take the blinds and not play the flop. You shouldn't given them a reason to consier re-raising.

No he doesn't. Pushing 655 chips into a 150 pot narrows the range of hands that will call. Yes, they'd reraise your 150 anyway. However, you'll get pushed back at by lessor hands and called by lessor hands just raising to 150.

Who's afraid of postflop? I welcome it. I'll outplay 90% of them every day of the week.

I'd like to say, once again, that you have AQ four handed.

That's four handed.

This is correct, although I'm sure OP had not intended to call an allin reraise from BB. In fact, I would probably fold to an allin reraise from BB here. Unless these guys are that laggy, my hand range for him is AK/pair.

I want to see whose in favor of a push and whose in favor of the tripling of the blinds?
