Very next Hand .. Iam in the SB with the same hand. This is where lights go off in my head.. Is this some kind of sick Poker Stars setup ? lol .

Decison ? My re raise is kinda absurd.. Should I have just pushed it into his 600 raise? Iam going to go all in no matter what .. But, I could have fixed this up a little... Suggestions on what to do to a raise of 600? I will admit I won tha hand.. But thats not important.. I think I could have still won the hand , and played it safer.. Thoughts?

 I like that your mixing it up by limping AQ, espcially if you knew he was aggressive. I dont think you quite need to be going all in preflop because you have a pretty deep stack. I think re-raising him to 1800 is good enough. I dont mind playing this in position if he decides to flat call the re-raise.

Putting in 2/3 of your stack preflop just doesnt really make sense. You say you are going to go all in no matter what, so what the point of throwing in 2/3 instead of the whole thing?

I limp because I think its some kinda sick setup .. Beings that I got dealt it twice in a row.. lol Just kidding.. Of course i limp this time , because Iam mixing up my calls and raises.. I would only be going all in if he called my re raise.. It would make no sense not to. However, I have fold equity if I miss and only re raise something like 1200 - 1800 like you mentioned. This is one of those hands you get called with like K J os and see a king.. I will say this, this guy will let you know when he hits.. Hes the most predictable player I have ever played against. It took a few hands to realize what he was doing.. But I got it.. Thanks FJUAN- Great advice on the reraise. Standard Reraise 3 X there raise always ? Or its different for heads up ? I tend to get a little tooo agresso raising heads up..

i would say its standard with how many chips you have in comparison to the blinds. Most SnG's are well above 50/100 when it gets to heads up...so this is a rare situation. Most of the time you'll just be going over the top all in.

I would probably re-raise instead of push at maybe 20BB and up. That means anything below 4000 here should be a reraise all in. With something like 3k here, your re-raise would already be half of your stack...so you would need to just push. With 5k you still have room to play postflop

 I might almost push this hand preflop. If you do raise to 1800 that gives him around 2.5:1 on his money to call anyway and even if he does lose the hand and totally miss the flop, he still has the chiplead. Also, if you're raising to 1800, that is more than 1:3 of your stack. Why not just push? Even if he does fold, you net almost 1000 here anyway, and if he calls you're in good shape. What hands dominate AQ HU? AA KK AK ... anything else you're good. As you did, you raised 2/3 of your stack preflop and you can't do that. If you want to raise to 3000 you mine as well push.
