    Default calling raise and reraise all in with AQ

    Playing in a home game tonight and on the last hand one player went all in for $6, another player lets call him player B called and I pushed for $22 more. If you were player B are you calling for 16 more in this situation against a very tight player? Stakes were .50/1 NLHE. Just want some feedback.

    Depends on my hand - I'm not folding pocket AA or KK.

    Question to you. Why push all-in when both you and player B could have ganged up on the first all-in player to increase odds of freezing him out of the tournament? It's generally bad form to force out another player when you have a chance to eliminate a small stack except if you have the nuts or very close to it. Pre-flop there is no way you could know this - the co-operative play would have been to just call the all-in raiser and player B and call it down to showdow unless you secure the 99% winnning hand by the flop or river - then you raise him for additional bets.

    I don't believe this was a tournament.

    Your right it was a cash game, I pushed my final 22 dollars in and player B called with AQ, I was wondering if anyone else is calling my reraise with AQ in that position.

    I'm not calling with AQ, but neither am I pushing with AQ unless I know they are both donks.
    A good education is expensive but ignorance costs more.

    Opps -sorry! I read that too early in the morning when I should have been in bed!

    Answer, no I wouldn't with just AQ - suited or not! Maybe against a loose-aggressive maniac but against a tighty? - nope!
