    Sorry, no HH, but here's the situation: It's the $10+1 superstack tourney on FT, 1900+ entries, a little over 400 players left, pays 189. I have about 16k chips, blinds 250-500, 50 ante. All fold to me with A-Qo. Villain has huge stack, like close to 100k, and has been aggressive, have seen him raise frequently and bullying table. He has reraised with A-Js, A-10o and 77, two of these hands being suckouts, thus the big stack. All fold to me, and I make it $1500. He reraises to $5000. What do you do? Ok, I'll tell you, because the outcome is irrelevant, I want to know if this was the right move. I shoved. Turns out he also has A-Q, but it's suited, and he friggin flopped his flush, gg me. So my questions are:

    1. Is my bet size correct when I raised? Should it be more?

    2. Should I have shoved? Called? Folded?

    Generally, I'm trying to loosen up my game and not be so nitty, but I'm wondering if this was the time to shove. I think I could have cashed if I reverted back to being super nitty and folded or called, but there's no way of knowing this. However, I'm tired of just minimum cashing and wanted a shot at doing well in this tourney. Thanks for any advice, appreciate it.

    If you are not getting this in blind vs blind with a super aggro 200bb big stack, you are better off quitting....UL he had AQs and flopped the nuts....if he's as aggro as ur saying, he's gonna be doing the same with A-rag, KJ, QT-type hands (or complete air), so this is an easy spot to get it in

    Standard play, Unlucky with the outcome.
    IMO my play would of been limp the SB hoping that the LAG would raise the BB, in which you shove all-in. Most likely he would of called with AQs tho.
