How would u have played this hand? was pushing ok here?
I think pushing is the only option here. A raise is out of the question since it would be almost have your stack, committing you on the flop. Folding or limping in with AQ is also not an answer here, which leaves us with the push. You are ahead most of the times in this situation, as other better hands shouldn't be limping in, but raising. Nice play.
If you did raise you would have to push ANY flop.. and you could be getting it in behind rather than ahead by
pushing now. I think pushing can get you called by worse hands who see your stack size and think yoiur just
trying to steal it preflop with garbage as is seen constantly at this BI.
