id bang.....joe is probably using his stack....ie agression

If your playing to win, id even if needs be take a race here.....try n make final table chips. Late stages of a tourney, there is always one race you have to take to make the big $$$$

I hate AQ here but like doggy says I would push as his range of hands will be high...dont forget the min he would put you on would be AQ so he may fold...you have to try and win a race

Mate your M is 6.3 - therefore I push and cry when I lose to AK or better.

Say to playing on tilt

My first instinct is to push, 64800 in the pot already is a big increase to your stack, he'd have to call about 140k into 240k which is not brilliant odds, certainly not an auto-call for him. as stated, he's the big stack and so probably has a wide enough range that he folds enough to make this a good spot to jam. don't think he calls anything that's worse than a flip though.

So you know its not a happy ending from the fact its posted but I took the line that:

I have to play AQ at this stage,
if I push i am happy to race and happy just to take the pot

Result

roscopiko: raises 137644 to 173644 and is all-in
vinicharge: folds
kick_butts6: folds
Harris1013: folds
joeshambles: calls 137644
*** FLOP *** [4c 9s 10s]
*** TURN *** [9c]
*** RIVER *** [Js]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
joeshambles: shows [Ad Kd] (a pair of Nines)
roscopiko: shows [Qs Ah] (a pair of Nines - lower kicker)
roscopiko said, "nh"
joeshambles collected 374888 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 374888 | Rake 0
Board [4c 9s Tc 9c Js]
Seat 1: roscopiko showed [Qs Ah] and lost with a pair of Nines
Seat 2: vinicharge (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: kick_butts6 (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 4: Harris1013 (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 5: franky bee42 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: Bravro folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: joeshambles showed [Ad Kd] and won (374888) with a pair of Nines
Seat 9: goldgammon folded before Flop (didn't bet)

The main reason for posting was I really hated the push after and considering the flop I can maybe get him off this hand if I call to push any flop.

Added to that I had made the same in the last 3 tourneys I had gone deep in and was eliminated in all.

Thanks for the feedback
