Default AQs push or raise

How would you play this after the flop assuming only $585 left after the initial raise ?
Would it be better to push PF ?

under 10 BB = push. so yes, push this instead.

I can understand that here as CO only has $785 but 10BBs is $2000.
Surely you wouldn't push cards when you had $2000 all the time?

Push it. Even if you're scared that people won't call you when you have strong cards because if you just go to the flop, chances are, it's going to miss you, and then what're you gonna do? Just push it PF

Edit: I just saw your reply. Yes, push if less than 10BB. I even push all the way to 3000 chips and sometimes more.

If I had 2000 chips here and it was 100/200, yes, I would. For god's sake it's AQs and you're on the cutoff.. what better cards would you be waiting for?

To min-raise and get fancy with 3.5bb is just daft, and how the hell has the CO raised to 200 when the blinds are 100/200? WTF is going on there?

Push

If they fold and don't contest you increase your stack by nearly 40%, if they do contest then you want to see all 5 cards with AQ, to call regularly and fold a missed flop is how a stack gets eaten up in the first place.

Yeah can you clarify if the blinds are 100/200 or if the stakes are 100/200 (ie. 50/100 blinds)?

Either way CO has to push. I guess if I played it like CO did then I'd push the flop (?) but I'd have my chips in preflop every time.
