ok here is part #1,

here is what Andrew Wiggins did, now just because he is a pro dont just agree with everything he did. Tell me what you personally would do.

2/4 NL game

cutoff stack of $1,741
button stack of $449.90
your stack $463.20
big blind stack $456.50

cutoff opens the pot for $14, button calls....what do you do.

well, I have never played close to these limits online, but knowing that I am going to be out of position for the entire hand and I have no reads on the villains, I probably just call this, but I might fold it. Ah, I cant really decide, folding is so weak.

3-bet $35, short-handed, AQ is a monster. If 4-bet, fold. We want to take control of the betting preflop. That way, postflop, we can most likely take it down with a c-bet.

Well with the big stack having position on us, I'm fine with just calling here. We don't want to bloat the pot OOP with such a sticky hand. AQ is very strong short-handed, but I prefer a call here.

Agreed, but AQ is a hand you would not want to see a multiway pot with too. I'd 3-bet it, hoping to drive out BB and the button.

Looks like a pretty standard squeeze to me - raising ~pot is fine, neither an LP raise (or is it 4-handed? still, 4-handed an open-raise from anywhere doesn't have to mean a great deal) nor a button call are real signs of strength and we don't really want to play AQ out of position.

Reraising that small gives very very little fold equity. it's essentially a pot-sweetener, which makes no sense given we're completely out of position and our hand is A high. Re-raise to $50 at the very least to have actual fold equity.

Re-raising just over the size of the pot, i.e. about 60-65 is the right play, so long as the CO isn't a very tight player.
