AQ on the bubble against donk ($11)

    Default AQ on the bubble against donk ($11)

    UTG is a donkey, 46/11. Accumulated his chips through multiple suckouts and winning flips. What's the best line here? Should I just check the BB and see what comes on the flop or should I push and hope he calls with A-rag?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG (t7355)
    Button (t3830)
    SB (t1090)
    Hero (t1225)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, Q.
    UTG calls t100, 2 folds, Hero ????

    With 12xBB 4-handed I would probably push all-in against him; if he is the sort of player to call with any mediocre hand.
    Although it all depends on how he plays premium cards, if he likes to limp in trying to disguise his hand as weak then I may well check instead.

    (Also what does 46/11 mean?)

    I will push this also, although on the premise that is most likely going to be the best hand,
    and not that UTG is likely to call it even with 46/11.
    You are most probably at worst up against a middle pair, but a smaller ace is more likely.
    Play to win!

    All-in. Being one of the short stacks on the bubble, you have to accumulate chips (your stack will deteriorate quickly 4-handed if you don't make moves), and this is the perfect opportunity. You probably have the best hand, and will often even have your opponent dominated when he calls the push.

    Thanks for the replies, I pushed, he called with 55 and I lost the flip.

    46/11 means Villain had 46% VP$IP and 11% preflop raise. So he was voluntarily putting chips in the pot preflop (ie. calling or raising rather than checking the BB) 46% of hands and raising 11% of hands. You'd characterise a player like this as loose passive.
