SB I wasn't worried about since he was pretty much forced to go all in, and the rest of the table seemed to be playing just about everything. Should I have just called his raise and evaluated the flop? Or should I of folded? And if that happens is it all going in anyways?

I don't think folding preflop is bad.

I dont think folding is bad either. But if you are going to raise, raise stronger, to something like 15k here, it will take his stop n go antics away and commit you more to the pot that you have an interest in.

as said before, folding wouldnt be too bad. but personally, i would have just called the preflop raise and re-evaluate on the flop. by flat calling, you are not risking too many chips to see if you hit the flop, and in postition, allowing you to gather some info on your villain. you have a good amount of chips, betting 10k of your 26k stack after a raise is bad. your not completely committed, but you still dont want to lose that many chips on AQo. so yes, i find the preflop play too aggro for this time in the tournament.

On the preflop play... calling>raising>folding IMOCalling is definitely more passive, but MP1 has a stack that could definitely do some damage to yours if you get it all in pre-flop... Basically any raise you make commits you, and I prefer seeing a flop cheaply in position against the pre-flop raiser w/ AQ.... However, raising isn't a bad option either, but I'd raise to 13-15k to commit yourself to his push.As played, the flop kinda sucks.... If you had just smooth called his raise preflop, it would be an easy fold to a flop bet. However, getting 4-1 on your money to call his flop push, He'd basically have to have AA or a set here for folding to be the right play. (I think so, anyway... )Tough hand, that's for sure. BTW, what's the buyin?

I dont like a PF raise here. There is too good a chance that one or more of our outs is gone between the limp and the raise. and we're worse off than a coin flip. I dont mind calling getting about 7:3 odds, but that does invite more calls behind, killing position. I fold it.

[ChrisRichey]

With an M of 9ish, and 8k in the pot already, I would shove pf. It would be nice to know where we are in the tourney though.

Eh, it was one of those .50 cent tournies on stars.At this point there are 100ish left out of the 2300ish that started.
