I've always been taught to raise 3x BB.

For the past 2 NL HE tournaments i've played in, i've busted out going all-in preflop with hands like AK and AQ.The time i had AK, i raised pre-flop and my opponent re-raised big. I then pushed all-in and lost to a JJ. My chip stack was about average, but my oppenent's chip stack was 1.5x bigger than mine. A similar situation happened with the AQ. I now realize that was very stupid, and don't beat me over the head with it.So i'll ask the question this way...What hands would you go all-in on preflop with a dangerously short stack (5x BB), against one other guy who raised?What hands would you go

What were the chip stacks? And im assuming this is NL?...Well, if it is NL, then i would say to re-raise the flop. If you get called, then check/fold to the river. If you get re-raised, then fold.Folding to a .50 bet seems kinda stupid, since you've got the pre-flop raiser advantage.If you call, then you lose the pre-flop raiser advantage and are just wasting that .50 since you probably won't hit that 9.

You have a hand like AQ and the flop comes something like 3d 8c 4h.How would you play it in--1.) early position2.) middle position3.) late position
