I generally fold A-Q pf in that spot. I'm not saying that's right, but I hate A-Q, and I'm always suspicious of min-raises. I'm definitely not reraising. Your M is large enough that you don't need to go to war with A-Q.That said, if I'm first into the pot 5-handed, I will raise every time with A-Q.

any read on MP

He min raised UTG on an earlier hand and i pushed w/ AKclubs... he took a few seconds and called w/ 77. I'd say he's moderately tight, but willing to gamble.

I would fold as well.preflop, I'd likely raise to 1000. Enough to keep the SB from coming in for a cheap StopNGo, and make BB play for his stack.THen, of course, I still fold if MP does thisMP is making this play with almost any two, its jsut that so many any-two beat you here. He should expect you too call, and therefore, he migh actually have at least a pair.. Yeah, I know, that's contradictory to any two.I'd fold, and if me, have 3600 left.

This is exactly how I play this hand.
