Yup, if you called this everytime, I think it would be slightly -EV, not as bad as we imagine, and that you'd be truly surprised at what sort of hands you see.

Turbos make people really trigger happy for some reason. And the less than half pot bet invites a big "re-steal." I wouldn't be surprised if the BB had air here 5-10% of the time

I totally agree...and I think theres at least another 5-10% to add if not more .... of the time that has Ax.

Funny, my instinct would be to call this at a $15 turbo tournament.

Too much to risk early on. Yes you could double up.. but you could also bust. Just not worth it, especially for level one. AQ is only good to take small/medium pots early...though... if it were me, I'd probably call while opening up the next SNG.

It is close.

But a significant portion of the "good" players in these games play sets and two pair this way, which I believe skews it into fold territory.

I was gonna say the same thing. You'll be ahead more than some other responders have said.

Dangerous thinking, friend.
