I toss AQo into the muck there - don't really see enough incentive to get involved OOP against an unknown big stack who raised from EP. Can't really read too much into the 5x raise without seeing villain's history.

With the big stack, I think you have to give him a slightly larger range.

If you don't defend your blind with AQ here, what are you waiting for?

The problem is calling isn't exactly a great option either, and do you really want to reraise with just AQ?

I think your read is what it comes down to. If you think villian is just bullying, maybe a call/push is right. Ohterwise, a fold is perfectly fine.

Its a fold or a push, and Id fold.

Generally, from the SB, you limp in or fold to any raise, unless you're holding a nut pocket.

HE SAID FROM THE SMALL BLIND YOU GENERALLY LIMP OR FOLD TO ANY RAISE UNLESS YOU'RE HOLDING A NUT POCKET!!!!!!!


Not sure what a nut pocket is, though... Maybe it's like you're at a baseball game, and have a few peanuts left, and you need to hit the john. You toss the peanuts in your pocket, and suddenly your pocket has become a "nut pocket."

Fine, be that way. For the record, tolerance is overrated. icon_biggrin.gif
