    You should have just pushed pre with an M just over 6. Once you raise you are committed anyway so it's better to put max pressure on the people left to act.

    The JJ should be all in pre flop but the AQ guy just got lucky with a bad move.

    Thanks , i think at these levels the guy with the AQ was always gonna call anyway.
    Im trying to build a bit off a bankroll playing the $1.10 45 man SNG turbos.
    Ive got just under $200 when should i be looking at moving up to the $3.25 turbos.

    Cheers stephen

    I think you are fine to move up with $200...just remember that if you go on a bad run when you move up you have to force yourself to move back down.

    looks like your UTG wwith JJ,,, because your raising 5 big blinds in this spot and your never folding to a reraise after you pot commit nearlt 1/2 your stack I agree with the other posters and allin is the move. the fact that AQ is always calling is moot your play is still right, forget about results focus on the right move. Cheers.
