They may have overplayed their AQ here and gotten lucky. However, I am calling. Once he has committed 20% of his chips pre-flop he is doing anything to knock this down with the checks on the flop.

Careful what you wish for.....you just may get it!

 Don't raise because his stack is short.

Take into consideration his donking range here and make a decision more off that.

TBH this is a really shitty spot, because of his short stack, you aren't really ever going to know where you stand, I don't hate raising, but I don't love it either. If he's really, really bad I probably raise because you'll see this min stack donks call with ace high or draws alot here. Some of them are really tight though, just need to figure out which type this guy is. If he's a nitty one I fold.

At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

 I play this the same way I think.

Our choices are limited to either get it in or fold. There's no way we're going to peel the flop and fold to a turn bet when he's this short obv because he's always stacking off imo.

I think you'll see 22-55 77-88 here a shitload and have enough equity vs his range to get it in overall. You'd think ovepairs to your 99 are less likely due to preflop so I don't think we have any choice when his range is weighted towards lesser hands that will stack off and Qs.

I guess I don't totally hate a fold since we have terrible equity vs any hand that's ahead of us I suppose.
