I'd bet closer to $2 on the turn. A $1 bet puts you in a shitty spot when he raises.

As played, this is nl5 so there are plenty of worse hands calling a shove, but it's very high variance.

tuff spot, sorry...
Is he holding a 7... I don'T know. Did he hit a str8 on the turn (with 9-10), I don't know.
Did he hit a J, and wants to find out where you at ?

From the betting battern here, I'd fold. But like dave said, it's nl5, so you can be facing any 2 cards. The reason I'd fold might sound stupid here but it's because btn is willing to go to war here (all the way) and has a mid size stack (ready to lose it all), + he did not cared the fact you raised UTG.

It's a tough one as you are still ahead of a lot of hands he might have (at this level) including slowplayed KK/QQ, AJ/KJ, TT/99 even. However, you've shown enough strength to be QQ+, so he wouldn't just randomly bet here unless he thinks he's ahead of at least AJ, but possibly more.

Unfortunately it's probably a random 7 or lucky straight, but it's not great odds to shove, and the hands that play this way are fairly limited, so it's a tough one, possibly a fold.

What a bitch of a spot with AA!!!
