Default Would you call here?

Party Poker $30+$3 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)

Hero (t695)
CO (t870)
Button (t1055)
SB (t1910)
BB (t1840)
UTG (t860)
MP1 (t770)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, <font color="CC3333">BB raises to t1840 (All-In)</font>, Hero ?

I have no big read on this player. He seemed a little loose, and the only hand that stood out was when he slowplayed KK from the sb earlier when it was folded around to him.

I would call, mostly because of the blind structure of party. You will have 5 BBs very soon if you fold. But I wouldn't be happy about it.

in my opinion, it all depends on whether or not you're willing to race a small-medium pair, leaving you either doubled up real nice like or wondering why you called in the first place...

I wouldn't be crazy about it, but i would call here. It kind of sounds like you're getting bullied by the all-in. I might give him credit for a mid pair or AK, but he may only have AJ or worse since no-one else is in the hand.

It's 545 back to you with 870 in the pot. If your opponent will make this play with the top 10% of hands you are only a 1:1.1 dog, so I think you are obliged to call in that case. If you think they would only make that play with Top5%, then you can fold. I guess pushing might have evoked a fold and avoided a race if BB has 55-88, but I have a feeling you're going to tell us BB had AA-QQ or AK.

i dont see why you would call here, i dont think i would have raised preflop with your stack but that in and of itself is marginal. but calling an all in raiser when you have AQ is wrong here absent a good reason. It is one thing to be the pusher and another to be the pushee.

It depends on how good your short stack game is. If you think you can get back into the game, then you probably should fold. Normally, players will go all in with AK or a PP. Your are a dog to both. Unless the villian is a bully, then you can probably take the chance.

Fold.
Good chance he has a pocket pair though.

YOu shoulda limped in and not raise with AQo from that position in the first place, you are betting a huge amount of your chips on a weal hand (AQo Is weak).

Fold it and play tight.

I won so many tournyments on part while having less then 500 chips, its nothing too worry about it.

This seems wrong to me. I've always been told open-limping is awful any time you have a chance to pick up the blinds. Why give the blinds a free chance to bust you with 72 when the flop comes A72?

i would call unless you really felt like you were better than most of the other players at the table. if you call and win you are in a good spot for the rest of the sng, whereas if you fold you are gonna be in rough shape and will probably need some help. if you call and lose, well you're not much worse off than if you had folded and lost shortly thereafter.
