    Default Reraising a big raise with AQs

    This was in the final stages of a 45 player $5 MTT (blinds 100/200, ante 25):

    I'm chip lead on this table, but not by much. 5th/15 overall. From the way I've seen him play, his big raise told me he had a pocket pair 88-JJ. In this situation, did I make the right move? Looking over the hand, I think maybe I should have used the 'stop & go' tactic where I just call the 1600, then move all-in on the flop. He maybe would have put me on a K and folded?

    CO (t3225)
    Button (t2710)
    SB (t3025)
    Hero (t3515)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    UTG calls t200, 3 folds, CO raises to t1600, 2 folds, Hero raises to t3490, UTG folds, CO calls t1600 (All-In).

    Board: , , (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t7040

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Qd Ad (one pair, sevens).
    CO has 9d 9h (two pair, nines and sevens).
    Outcome: CO wins t6750. Hero wins t290.

    If you really put him on JJ-88... of course you have to cold call! (at best)

    Reraising with AQ is probably the baddest thing you can do. Most of the time, at best it's a coin flip, or you are a huge dog.

    I probably fold this hand...

    With those blinds and ante's your not under pressure to race, just let the blind go. Its a good play, just hope you pick up a monster when he does it and you can nail him.

    Fold

    AQ has power when you are first to raise, but as a reraising hand is very poor (with some exceptions of course).
