    Default AK, 30BB shove from HJ

    Villain is 50/0 over 9 hands and shoves 30BB. Not sure how he lost his chips as I'm stacking my tables. Re-pop or fold?

    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    9 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com
    $15+$1

    Stacks:
    UTG (2,150)
    UTG+1 (1,470)
    MP1 (1,470)
    MP2 (1,420)
    MP3 (880)
    CO (1,620)
    Hero (1,350)
    SB (1,650)
    BB (1,490)

    Blinds: 15/30

    Pre-Flop: (45, 9 players) Hero is BTN K A
    2 folds, MP1 calls 30, 1 fold, MP3 goes all-in 880, 1 fold, Hero ??

    Edit: Title says MP, but it's actually the HJ.

    shove IMO, he's so easily dominated here, and he's proabably not open shoving 30 bbs with AA/KK so your rarely dominated .

    The fact that he's lost a decent-sized pot already (possible tilt) makes this a never-fold situation.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    agreed, this is a definate call for me, id put him on a middle pocket pair tho atleast, maybe 66-99 but for me still a call

    Given that we don't have a read on this player and he hasn't raised at all, are we folding AQ or AQs?

    He's 50/0 over 9 hands. He could be tilting, or he could be looking for a fast double up with a small pair, or big Ace. You're still dominating ALOT of his range, I would probably call since it's early enough and you would still have 20 or so BB's if you lose.

    You could also make the case for folding since it's such an unknown and you have nothing invested in the pot. It's still early and you are sure to find some better spots with more reliable info.

    This is a much better question. I'd probably tank and look at the hand histories for past few hands to see where he lost a good chunk of his stack. If he lost it with an ace-rag type hand or just overvalues his hands then you have an easy call.

    I general (no specific reads) I think AQ is a good fold though. you are hardly getting any overlay from dead money in the pot and there are 2 people behind you.
