  5. I prob just call the small stack shove instead of coming over the top. Gives me an opportunity to hit if villain calls (which he has already done once) or fold if he repops leaving me shortish (28k) but not dead.
     
  6. I think your key here is going to be your reads on the two players you are involved with. If the big stack that flat-called your three bet is a good player, you have to be worried that he is setting you up. You could then fold the original raiser's shove. On the other other hand, if he is a bad player, and he is calling just so he can "see the flop", you should be way ahead of him and go ahead and get your money in.

    As far as reading the first player, he has only about 15, 16 big blinds so you should normally be happy to take AQ to war with him. However, he is in early position. If he's a super tight player, especially a player who tightens around the bubble, you could even fold your AQ. That would be a quite rare occurrence. I think the three bet is normal, but I think also your bet size is a little too big as a further point. Unfortunately, when you shoved, you were hoping to fold the big stack out and since you didn't, he should have you crushed here. What did they have?
     
  7. Sucks being dominated with that much moolah in the pot.
  8. Two guys risking their stacks in a spot like this one spot from the money?? Sucks to do but I'd fold, these guys should have QQ+ or AK.
  9. Not realy sure how you raise 11,450 to 11,450?? is hand history edited?
