    In the waiting line for the long run...

    Default AQ - right fold?

    Seat 1: Pokallio ($4,180 in chips)
    Seat 4: sanpimar ($2,920 in chips)
    Seat 5: tuskarol ($1,355 in chips)
    Seat 7: Hero ($1,450 in chips)
    Seat 8: 2ROYAL2ME ($2,035 in chips)
    Seat 9: LeTur ($1,590 in chips)
    Seat 10: echeneis ($1,470 in chips)
    ANTES/BLINDS
    Hero posts blind ($25), 2ROYAL2ME posts blind ($50).

    PRE-FLOP
    LeTur folds, echeneis folds, Pokallio calls $50, sanpimar folds, tuskarol bets $400, Hero folds, 2ROYAL2ME folds, Pokallio folds.

    I folded it because the sng was still in the early stages and I also didn`t have position against the raiser.

    I think he's got a half decent hand but one which he doesn't want to play.

    Say 1010, jj, qq, aj, aq, ak - against that sort of range, I think it's a standard fold, now if you had AK - I think I may well struggle to stop myself from shoving. I could probably advocate shoving the AQ here if you've got any knowledge of this chap from previous hands, either way I fold or shove, more likely fold. Never call.

    As you said, blinds are still quite low. The raise is very big, 400 is 8 times the BB, there will be people talking after you. Easy fold in these conditions, without any special read that raiser is a psychopath.
    Yes.
    No.
    I dont know.
    He doesnt mean it,
    But he acts like he does.

    Karnouk <-- beginner, so take it with salt

    Fold is standard in this spot unless you have a read that the raiser is a maniac (in which case I shove over).
