I'd either push or fold depending on my read on the initial raiser.
If he's been anything less than tight I'm allin, if he's got his chips playing only QQ, KK, AA, AK I'll fold.

BTW,
The moron who just calls you with AJ and then gets sucked into overcalling with it does you a huge favor. Since we know AK is going to call anyway (even if AJ goes all in), the only way we're going to win is by pairing our Q or hitting a straight. So the AJ significantly increases your payoff while not really hurting your chances to win.

Haa - you're absolutely correct - got caught up in phonetics it appears.

It's an EASY PUSH.
UTG limps, Big stack raises (so what he could be doing that with anything (suited connectors, AX, KQ,PP,...), if you go all-in you are called 100% of the time, but that's ok. You will likely be 50-50 or 60-40 ahead. sometimes against QQ,KK,AA, orAK, but odds are low. You can't wait any longer, you try it, if you win, you can steal blinds and get a big stack.
If you fold, you won't make the money without an all-in anyway, still 4 peoiple to go vbefore the money...
I really think that you can't fold. You will end-up going all-in anyway in 5 to 10 hands if you don't pick a monster with something like 10-8s...

Push it not facing the raise... But in this situation its a fold.
The best you could hope is a coin flip... your opponent raise an UTG limper, he have to be hiding a PP or AK IMO considering the game was tight... AQ also posible.
BTW I say that here, but I may have pushed... but it would have been a bad move...
just my 2 cents!

Hmm.. That's a funny situation. A situation where I would have pushed had the limper not been involved. 3x BB raise from Button I believe. I'm thinking mid pockets at a tight table and with the blinds worth 1/5 of my stack I'm looking to make a move. I'm all for flippin the coin. A little aggressive. Problem is... Without any numerical explanation... What I tend to find is if I am not the player to make the initial raise I find I end up being behind. So I am a little bit tighter with calling raises. What is my point? I don't know. I'm drunk. Just kidding. After a little pondering my final play in your shoes would have been a fold. Reason being is I am about to move to a better position which will allow me to be the aggressor. Raising the extra 330ish I don't feel I am the aggressor from that position. It's a spot where 1 will call, 2 probably. Not liking that with AQ. I would rather push in a later position with worse cards and having a better gauge of what I'm up against AND... PLay heads up. Don't like the 3 way. Blinds at 100 I only need to win 1 heads up push to put myself in a more comfortable position. THOUGHTS?
