$50 Final Table with AQo

Hey guys, final table of 10 people left, 7 get paid. I got about 100K with 4-8k blinds. UTG is an old women player, but with 5 big blinds left and her losing 12k next two hands; her range has probably widened a little bit

UTG pushes for 40k, folded around to UTG +2 who flats and has me covered by a lot(probably around 300k). Folded around to me in the highjack with AQo. What's your move here? BTW, the blinds, BTN and CO have very short stacks of between 10-40k, so they are non-players here.

Re: $50 Final Table with AQo

yeah tough spot, winning this hands makes you equal cl, whats the prize diff between first and 7th.? and whats ur read on utg+2?

if you had 125+ then I think you would have enough fe to shove
but being so close to the bubble
and i think hes gonna call getting great odds and closing the action
and so many shorter stacks i think I fold and pretend it was a8o

flatter was some 30 year old guy, but I think he'd do this with hands like AJ and maybe even KQ... the play in these are pretty bad, just as JIT . I think he's a pretty decent player, but only had a few hands on him.

What are the other stacks at the table? Would utg2 flat w QQ or would he isolate?

I doubt you have much fe, so maybe a flat and hope he is smart enough to check down. You only bet if you hit.

That will cripple you if you lose, but you have a strong enough hand to maybe try that.

Re: $50 Final Table with AQo

Nice spot to play two hands. Sounds like a shove in most situations...

This is always a shove and if it's the guy with the thing in his neck, then it's a fistpump shove...

Re: $50 Final Table with AQo

Could be wrong, but dont we need to take into account on how much confidence we have in our game against those of the other players? I mean 12.5BB isn't alot, but its still some room to play...
