    It's a bit of a strange raise from xxxx as he can only shove with that stack so raising is slightly suspicous meaning he wants a call or raise, but even with that I probably just snap shove as you cover him comfortably.

    why would you 3bet him if you are not snapping a shove? Are you bluffing with AQ?

    Once you've put 4,200 in, there's no alternative. His range is wider than The Andes at this point. If he has aces, with your stack, you shrug and move on. If you fold from there, you deserve to spend time contemplating it in an acid bath. Even if you've made a move with 2 7 off, you still call his shove with your stack.

    Acid bath? And I thought opticians were a decent bunch.

    I posted a similar sort of hand in the clinic some time ago, but with me not having quite twice the chips of the villain, and was criticised for playing AQs that way so wanted a check on this hand.

    Also a little results orientated with the ask because villain had AK. :-(

    But happier with the way I played this hand so ty to those who replied.
