Late in a $100 freeze out home game and 6 players left (Top 4 ITM). Blinds are 1500, 3000. Table is playing rather tight in general mostly just trying to make the money. 4 have larger stacks while 2 of us are at 4-5BB I am UTG and have Ad, Js and have about 12k in chips and I bet out 6k and action folds around to the small blind (who has about 12.5k in chips) and she pushes her stack in after about 30 seconds of thought. General read of her is that she is a tight player who has on many occasions gone down to her final blind before finding a hand to double up on. I do get the feeling that she does have 'something' but I am sensing that she doesn't have a pair.Should I call her, should I have pushed all in from the start, or should I lay em down?I have been wondering about this hand for a couple days and figured I would post and see if anyone has any opinions.Rath~

This is a hand where you should just push in UTG.Force the decision on them.

Live poker is fixed.She probably folds to a push.

Sorry for the caps but DON'T MIN RAISE. If I have 4 BB's left + I'm UTG I can't think of anything else but pushing and that's just seein the ace.

Thats what I was thinking was the best bet, wanted to get some other opinions though.

raise all in preflop, that is all

Min raises are for kids.. of course you can't fold after you min raise.. that's why you DON"T MIN RAISE..... if you're gonna call anyway, you just shoulda all in'd, unless you want to be pushed all in, and with AJ, I don't, I just want the blinds.. if you fold, what do you have? 2 bb with a BB about to hit you.. IE you have nothing, and will have to go all in in the button anyway.. but if you go all in, then KT proably folds, and you make the money.. repeat this.. NEVER MIN RAISE NEVER MIN RAISE... ti's the worst play in poker the vast majority of the time I see it...
