I'm new to the forum.
Quick question for you.
I'm in a live game. It's a £50 freezeout.
It's a very 'limpy' table. The blinds are 25/50 and we have our starting stack of 8500.
5 limpers. We have AQ unsuited in the sb.
What is the best play here?
A Make up the 25 and hope to hit
B Rise it up to 250
C Make it 8500
TIA

Welcome to the forums, i suggest if you post in the poker clinic section you shall get a good response.
Obviously tikay will be able to help too but im sure there are a few ways to play it. i personally would bump it up to 500 ish, no need to shove with AQ & i personally wouldn't limp as you want to narrow down how much your against.
Also Tikay i suggested a while ago more £5.50 tourneys(NON-REBUYS), could you give someone a nudge or kick for me as between 7-12 there is rarely any other then rebuys just a standard one which they have at 5pm etc would be good
Many Thanks

Show you mean business - jam it ..... like a true pro!
Thanks Luther and Young Gun.
Now I'm a bit confused as to the best play.
Will go have a look at the poker clinic.
Thanks for the welcome Young Gun.
Your very welcome sir, yep the clinic is defo the place to go here. there will be mixed opinions but generally more of 1 answer, just copy post from here
What are your thoughts on the pre flop min raise AFTER an early position raiser if your holding A's. I hate it and would never do it as it just feels like you're inviting disaster. However one of my peers who I respect swears by it. To me i'd rather take the pot there, or give the B's no chance to come in + put more money in the pot if the inital raiser has a preemy. Thoughts?
1) We are probs pricing the EP Raiser in - which we want to do here.
2) We are, in effect, playing our hand face up. It screams "I have aces". So we often lose our customer, unless he is not so street-savvy, in which case, he may blissfully misread the obvious strength of our hand & pay us off.
3) We cannot flat his Raise, because now we are inviting others into the Pot, & we don't really want this coup 4 or 5 way.
4) To a degree, it depends what stage of the Tourney it is, & how deep we are both playing, too. Early doors, I don't like the min-Raise here, later on, it's probably spot on. Very late on - three-quarters or further - I don't even mind flatting here.
We never lose a hand if we push our customers off pre, but we also lose value, & we MUST try & get value from our big hands.
There you go, I'm sitting on my fence, as usual.

Hi Guys,
Just made the 4 hour drive from London to Manchester in just under 8 hours, bleurgh.
I need to clear some stuff, & I'm playing PTP tonight, so bear with me, & I'll reply to the unanswered questions (including MAXALLY's) as soon as possible, maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks.
It is a different mindset required when you reach the last 3 on a final table, and it is simple to put yourself in this situation in an STT.
It was not a question I was authorised to answer. I did send the question/request upstairs, but I don't really know if they have replied yet, as I've not had chance to log onto my internal e-Mail for a few days, as I'm stuck up in Manchester. I won't be back in th Office until early next week now, but I'll reply soonest.
Hi tikay, i know your busy just copying over to see if you can give people a nudge on the highlighted
many thanks
