    Default $11 AQs shove to gather chips

    Is this too aggressive and too early to do it? I figured pot was nice..If so what else do you do?

    Full Tilt Poker, $10 + $1 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 40/80 Blinds, 9 Players
    LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

    Hero (CO): 1,540
    BTN: 1,000
    SB: 1,825
    BB: 2,780
    UTG: 760
    UTG+1: 1,255
    UTG+2: 1,780
    MP1: 865
    MP2: 1,695

    Pre-Flop: (120) A Q dealt to Hero (CO)
    UTG calls 80, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls 80, 2 folds, Hero raises to 1,540 and is All-In

    For some reason, this sounds like a results oriented post...

    Yes this is pretty aggressive. And unneccesary at this level with a full table. A raise to 320 or so would probably get the same folds as this push would, and a Limp/call(or re-raise) from the UTG shorty should be sending off warning signs.

    Did you have any reads or notable hands about UTG or UTG+2?
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    no I actually got called by the short limper with pocket fives and won.. I was just trying to play according to the "15% of your stack pre-flop" rule but it seemed a weird push to me that's why I asked.. I didn't have any reads that they limped monsters..

    This seems OK to me provided you don't have a read that UTG limps monsters, the chips in the pot are 18% of your stack already and if you made it 350 to go and got called, the raise and a c-bet would burn at least half of your stack. The other thing is that if you standard raised and UTG limp/shoved then you'd be priced in to call.

    LOL at UTG's limp/call all-in with 55

    I would raise to 350 and take it from there
