205 RUNNERS
$550 BUY-IN
40 MINUTE LEVELS
PAYS TO 21
7 PLAYERS LEFT - 6TH AND 7TH PLACE ARE VERY CLOSE IN CHIPS, THEN THERE IS A MAJOR GAP TO THE TOP 5 PLAYERS.
AVG STACK 585,000
BLINDS 8000-16000 ANTE 2000

UTG (LAG) WITH ROUGHLY 600000 IN CHIPS RAISES TO 42000. HE RAISES FREQUENTLY AND WITH ANY ACE, THE C/O CALLS WITH ROUGHLY 600000 IN CHIPS.

YOU ARE IN THE SB WITH AQ AND 170,000 IN CHIPS. BB IS A BIG STACK.

SHOULD I WAIT FOR A BETTER SPOT OR SHOVE?

UNLESS THE CUTOFF IS A HUGE NIT, THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD SPOT TO WAGER ALL OF YOUR CHIPS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

I CONCUR THAT ABSENT PAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS, THIS IS A VERY STANDARD SHOVE WITH THE ACE AND THE QUEEN!!!!

HOWEVER, I DO NOT THINK THE ORIGINAL POST WAS EMPHATIC OR ENTHUSIASTIC ENOUGH. THEREFORE, I WILL ADD SOME EXCLAMATION POINTS TO EMPHASIZE THE ENORMITY OF MY ELECTRONIC CORRESPONDENCE TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Jason Young... i don't think its that easy. I still probably shove (b/c close to 10bb) but the problem is not the raise by the aggressive guy, but the smooth call IMO, I still prob shove, but could be up against AK for sure and be dominated. I can't tell if you are serious about the dude flashing KK and you still shoving.... If i saw KK I would fold for sure

^ live nits itt.

i can't see how anything but shoving would come your mind in this hand. so much dead money in the pot + wide ranges + we have AQ, why whouldn't we shove?!

very easy shove u can never flat there with your stack and folding def isnt an option i think it is a great spot especially with the read you have on the utg raiser, under 20bb im almost always shoving there

Fred Allen, why do you think you are more important than others on this message board?

This topic doesn't even require 1/10th of the attention most non-caps topics do. Sorry you ran into a big hand and lost.
