AQ All In ?

[PeteBoy]

I played a live tournament. (MTT) ,Survival phase, around 30 players left , 7 players will get a price, Blinds 1000/2000 + 2000 bb ante,

I had 95 000 chips and was in the dealer position everebody before me folds. My hand AQo. I raise up to 9000. Small Blind goes All in, he got 32000 chips. I call (22000 chips). From the way he acted i was sure he had no AA and KK. He had AK and i lost the hand. Whats your opinion, would you have called or given up in my situation? I guess my call was wrong.

what was the stack on the bb?, you have a good hand, you can play through a raise, you would have to put up for his olyn anyway, just unlucky

At that phase of the game with those blinds 1000/2000 and 95000 stack, you are at the point where you go all in. The AQo it is not the best for all in but at that conditions it is from the hands you wish to get. So I think it was a right decision to play the AQ.

Big Blind foldet, he had around 50000-70000 chips.

Of course, it all depends on how aggressive the opponent was who pushed all-in. If he was very passive, then you might consider folding. Well, without information, I think that it was just a cooler in such stacks and positions.

Hello brother
Let's see, I must understand that if the blinds were 1000/2000 before 2000
Your hero stack 95000
Villain SB stack 32000
As makisaa told you, AQ in heads-up is a hand that everyone dreams of, although it is not the best.
If you made a bet of 9000 it was not bad at all. But if the villain was a player who was waiting for his opportunity, by raising the in 4 bet to your bet, I think his range was quite high, I would have minimally thought that he had QQ + so that he had AK was not illogical.
Likewise, I would have paid for it with your stack, and if you lost with 25 BB you could still continue fighting the MTT with the possibility of raising and eliminating a player.
For me you played well, only you found something better on the way.
good luck greetings

I would have played allin since he had about 15 bb and you 40 bb, that wouldn't change the result, however it's always more comfortable to play under pressure than under pressure

 

[wengz2002]

Not that too bad move 4 me~ All-in AQ at pre-flop you got good chance. Sometimes shet happens~

 

[Niykk]

In my opinion AQo with 30 players left and 7 prize seats, with 50 bbs, 2000 ante, it's a fold. If suited imo then it's a all-in-call preflop; easier said than done though.

If the blind was 1000/2000, why such a high open raise?
If u wanted to steal the blinds or if the sb and bb didn't play well enough, they would probably already fold to a min-raise...
(obviously this will depend on how the players in question play, so it's not a rule)
If u had invested something around 4~5k would still have the option to fold more easily.
So, you practically put yourself in a situation where you have already invested 9k, and now you need to call +22k in a pot that already has 46k, that is, with a potodd of 0.32 (68/22)-(32%) and you need an equity greater than these 32 for the call to be positive ev.

So, back to the question....
How wide is your opponent's range?
Wide (50%) or narrow (10%)?

10%

Equity Win Tie
BU 37.49% 28.71% 8.78% { AQo }
SB 62.51% 53.72% 8.78% { 99+, AJs+, AQo+ }


50%

Equity Win Tie
BU 60.93% 58.33% 2.60% { AQo }
SB 39.07% 36.47% 2.60% { 22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q8s+, JTs, A2o+, K8o+, QTo+ }

It was a very loose table thats why I raised 9000

 

[wavetune]

everything is done in a standard and correct way, I'm not a big specialist in equity and the like, but I would play exactly the same way in a purely human way, even with A 10+

 

[julio gonzalez]

Hello AQ is a hand that must be played very carefully, especially when you open your hand and the villain goes there I would have done insta-fold

 

[Gallarado777]

I think that after you raised, he raised again and you should have folded, realizing that his hand is stronger.

good explanation, even with a looser table I should have made a smaller raise.
The blind positions are not steal positions so you could have made a smaller raise and evaded his all-in, but your raise was high and you had odds to call his bet and it ended up being cheap for you.

ended up finding a better game than yours, this happens every day.

 

[Ketienne]

I think considering the advanced blinds you did the right thing in this stage of the tournament.

 

[bidearm]

i would have folded unless i had top pair or ak

It is very interesting to read who and how they acted, but under the same circumstances they play differently. There are many factors that influence your call or fold. Even the fact that while thinking about your chances, you started to itch a lot below the waist (sorry, this also happens, you are in a live tournament). So don't sweat it. Accept this incident as it happened. This is the magic of poker. Good luck at the tables.

 

[Tato Ivan]

I think after you raised he raised again and you had to fold, realizing that his hand was stronger.

Only the autopsy showed that his arm was stronger.

 

[yuriko oyama]

for your stack size, I would pay too.
if it were the other way around, I would have given up.

 

[jleon_zat]

AQ is strong but you have to know when to play them. those 4bets in that area are terrible to call almost always you go below, but for the stack you had to pay all you have to.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

lately, not even with AA I'm going to the All inn, anyway you were in a good position with a good hand, I had to risk it

 

[samuri]

I would have folded. AQ is good after the fop for all in . I would not have raised before flop.

 

[hobojim1247]

one of the first axioms I learned when I started was the nickname for AQ was the parking lot. That is where you end up.

 

[Matt_Burns88]

With the effective stack sizes at play, you should be raising 2-2.2x. 4.5x is a huge raise and a huge mistake. I saw that your reasoning was that the table was playing very loose, but this should not affect your opening sizing by that much, especially as stacks get shallower.

If you raise to 4,400, you can fold comfortably to a shove, but by raising to 9,000, you have to call because of the pot odds.
