Preflop: Hero is SB with Q♦, A♠
UTG+2 calls $0.10, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, MP3 calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10, BU folds, Hero raises to $1.90 (All-In), BB folds, UTG+2 calls $1.80, 3 folds.

I felt I was getting called in at least one place here with a standard PFR and most probably being pot-committed on the flop. Is pushing here best?
Flop: ($4.20) 8♥, 6♣, 2♠
Turn: ($4.20) 2♦
River: ($4.20) 5♦

Final Pot: $4.20

I would make a normal raise of 0,80$ and push on flop -> if you got called preflop, villain often misses on flop and folds to your push. I wouldn't want to push preflop with AQo.


I would push here with AQ, if I have 1,50$ or less left. There are 4 limpers, you could push, but I think that better is raise 1$ and then push on the flop.

I only see 2 options here:

1. You push and hope that all opponents fold or you are only HU.
2. You only complete in SB and check out the Flop where you checkraise the Field All-In if you hit something good.

A normal raise I think is not so good, because you might get 1 caller or more and if he has anything on the flop even if its just a draw he mostly has to call your All-In on the flop anyway.
