    Default $12/180, 60 left, AQo UTG+1

    No reads on the UTG raiser, but those of you who play the $12/180 turbos will know that in general these guys are LOOOOOOOSE. FWIW in a 9-person SNG I would fold this pretty quick.

    What's your move here?

    I probs just snap shove this. However I dooooo overplay AQ. Curious to see what chard/mcat/drmc say.

    The only thing I don't like here is position. The size of the raise worries me a little, but Sprayed's comment that raising 1/3 stack with bad hands is all the rage now. Still, it's UTG so I think the chance of his having QQ+ here is fairly high.

    Regardless...I have no problem playing for his stack. You will even see something totally stupid like a fold once in a while. It would totally suck if MP1 or MP3 ships it after you though.

    I'd shove and refrain from fistpumping (AKo is a fistpump shove obviously).
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    pretty much if you can put any non-paired hand other than AK in his range this is a shove.

    since it sounds like you can here, I shove.

    Standard raising with a 10bb stack is the new thing for donks right now. I wouldn't consider it a monster. Although UTG's move isn't that bad because people who are not paying attention in the blinds may mistake the raise coming from a bigger stack and fold without thinking.

    You're ahead so raise it up. Same concern as baudib, but you will be committed regardless so stick it in.
