$3 NLHE MTT Deep Stacked Turbo: Final table of hyper: how would you play AQ in response to raise?
I may have played this hand too aggressively - especially given that I was second chip lead and not in an immediate need to go all in - but wanted a second opinion.
I feel like my options were either call - or come in over the top (all in).
Player had a very wide range, even while under the gun.
Opted to go all in. Analyzing the hand in retrospect to see if I could have played it better.
Would a better option have been to call?
Or because of the hyper nature of the tournament (big stack had 13 BB) all in push justified?
Appreciate your thoughts!
