tough call. i like being agressive here and shoving all in
so many times have i been burned by shorty making a comeback.

I think push here. If you wait for him to bust but he instead doubles up, you're pretty much even (or behind) with him in chips. You've got a decent hand, and at this point it's tough to wait for much better.

Others' thoughts?

yeah I push. Winning the blinds will increase your stack by a quarter and someone will have to wake up with a much superior hand to call you (except the shortie who can't knock you out anyway. I think this is the right move

Push this. You have no guarantee that he'll bust. If he wins one hand, you're in huge trouble.

you have to push... he could suck out, but you can't afford to fold this hand it is to strong, you're a pretty big favorite to what he most likely has in his hand.

same here. that's the worst when that happens. plus, could be a looong time before you have a hand as nice as AJ again.

maybe i'm a coward, but i'd fold. just think how happy shorty is when he sees you push. i'd push aq though.
