Hi guys,

Just wanted to get an opinion on what you would do with these 2 particular hands in this spot.

It's 150/300 pre ante, I'm up to 30k after peaking at 42k then losing KT vs 97hh on QJ3 w/2 heart board. I have been reasonably active but none of my hands have actually gone to showdown and I haven't had to tap the table and acknowledge good call yet.

Ali Malu opens to 900 utg and gets 4 callers and I am on button. I 3bet to 3250, both blinds fold, Ali folds and it folds to the last peeler. He now piles for the same stack (I had 200 more).

What are you doing with:
1) AKs
2)AQ

Villain was middle aged (~30) had been fairly tight but had been opening etc and I had already 3bet squeezed against him twice which he peeled both times and both times check folded flop. Other then that can think of no real other info on him.

problem with hand recollection IMO

call AK

AQ dependant on the player

I mean he has 88 99 & AK so often here I think you can justify folding AQ, but its tight

I'm not calling off 100bigs this early without KK+.

[FUN4FRASER]

If I understand you correctly  Ali  is opening + 4 callers and yourself , so 6 people in the hand in total. This is eventually down to 2 (you and the guy thats  jammed)
 
You have to think that of the other 8 cards folded its likely some of these are aces , kings or queens so this somewhat decreases your chance in a race with both of your suggested hands.

Its quite likely he has what Guy is suggesting 77 88 99 ish but of course he could have  slow played AK or even better. 

Personally I think AQ is an insta fold as any pair he is holding could already be a big percentage favourite (as reasons stated above ) or you could be dominated by AK etc.

AK is more difficult of course , but with the villain being tight I dont expect you to be that much of a favourite against many holdings ,so it could be marginal....maybe a crying fold ...although this is never easy when looking down at AK .

[outragous76]

more importantly , he is never 4th in the pot and calling with AA KK QQ

Always prepared to take the flip. Dependant upon how he sees you he could just be spazzzing out. I mean you are saying he is tight be we are pre ante and therefore he might be competant and just see this as a lovely spot to pick up 6k in dead chips

[TL900]

flat pre.

[LonOhRay]

flat pre.

You're mental one of the hands was Ace King!

Seems to be ~4.5k in the pot already before you squeeze button

Is he the type of guy to flat AA or KK when 3 players are in the pot behind? - Visibly upset that you have 3 bet his opens multiple times? Holding a grudge vs you and ready to slam AQ ATs and all pairs?

AK i go with, AQ just muck, use my 90bb stack to pick up chips against what I presume to be a soft table this early

Call both ldo

[rfgqqabc]

roll my eyes and call with AK, probs fold AQ even tho its slight +ev, rather keep my seat

[Boba Fett]

I expect him to have 77-JJ most of the time here.  Depends what you think your edge is in the tournament imo.  If you call one Id call both.

I guess we'll have to just disagree he has AK so often
