I'm guessing with AK this would be fine but bad play with AQ?

I would not push over a raise and a cold call with AQ, you can call and use you position to see what happens

[ilosemostly]

What if there was no caller?
and what if u had AKo?

[drmcboy]

I shove here.

[Fortune 500]

I'm either pushing or folding here for one reason. Calling is not an option, because your position is not absolute, there are players behind you yet to act, and your call is only going to entice them to call, or worse yet, make a move and then force you to make a real decision.

It's a real close call in my eyes between pushing and folding. The fact that Sloane has shown he'll push with A8 is a tilting factor towards pushing. The other big stacks call is a little scary, but I'd say half the time he has a real hand, and half the time he's playing position and going to make a move on Sloane.

I'm probably shoving over top, and squeezing the initial raiser out. Be prepared to get called by either the initial raiser, or the smooth caller, but not likely both.

[Black Sheep]

Like fortune said, if he had shoved with a8s, so is this a definite push from my side.

[dsmrolla06]

I push here over the top of both of them. The initial raise doesnt really mean a whole lot from the big stack, and a smooth call from a med-small stack comes off to me as something like a med pp, AQ or less, or something like KQ, KJ. I think your good here, and im willing to take a flip.

[WildBobAA]

I push this without a second though with your read.

[Sprayed]

With your stack, I don't think it's a bad play considering a smooth call would suck IMO. I think you need more than one read, but it seems that he is raising with a wide range. You might be able to squeeze them here, but if they call you still have a good hand for a showdown.

[taipan168]

I am shoving this one too. The only hands you're fearing are QQ+ and AK and given your read that the big stack has been raising significantly inferior hands to that from MP suggests that you'll be ahead of his range here. 90%+ chance that the cold caller folds too.
