[ChuckTs]

Two hands after the other AQ hand where I ended up calling, we get the same hand but get raised into this time.
Villain is tight agressive aswell, but a little looser and more aggressive: 22/17/3.4

What's our calling range here?

 

[Dingodaddy23]

i'd call 77+ and AQ+

definately call here with description of villian

 

[Dorkus Malorkus]

AQ+, 99+

callcallcallcall (well shove over the top, naturally).

 

[stormswa]

hmmmm

He has KdQd so id call, im that good I know what he has.

 

[Dingodaddy23]

I actually like a call here Dorkus. I THINK you can find a fold if someone in LP shoves over the top of both of you. He would be left with 34k in chips if he folds, and pot odds aside, there is no way you are NOT dominated with AQ if one of the big stacks behind you shoves over a push and a CALL which looks stronger than a push

call... probably

I'm thinking this is well within your calling range - probably not mine, though.
AQ is probably better than 50-50 to win this one, but I don't like it myself - I think I would sooner fold this one (you don't have many chips committed). As you said on the other thread, I want to be reasonable certain the odds are 70/30 in my favor to make this call. Even if you place this guy as somewhat loose, what hand do you put him on?
at this stage in a tourney, I figure there's no real idiots left. I'm going to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and give him AK or 99+, and fold most of these unless I've seen the Villian getting desparate.

I still find in online tourneys that the best tactic is always waiting for the other guy to make mistakes...

 

[ChuckTs]

Well as it turns out I folded, as did everyone else so we won't ever know what he held...

I found it kind of odd after reviewing these two AQ hands; I thought I should have folded the first, and actually called this one. I did exactly the opposite in both.

I do think AQ is ahead of his range here, and I think the only reason I folded was because I had just won a monster pot with that AQ just two hands ago and didn't want to risk it on a measely AQ.

the only person you can fold to is seat 5 - pot odds dictate an easy call against any of the others. shoving might get him to fold a hand like TT or another AQ that he would shove over the top of our call with - do you really think a call 'looks stronger' here? in theory it probably should, but in practice i see people shoving with their very strong hands and calling with their strong-marginal hands here all the time.
