Fast structure, "mini-tournament" - 60 starting units, blinds start at 1-2.I am somewhat short with ~50 units, blinds at 4-8. I have AQo UTG and make it 20 to play (almost half my stack). In hindsight, I probably should have pushed or limped but that's not the point of this thread. Besides, the make-up of these games includes a lot of very loose calling stations that would make a "trap hand" like AQ a lot of money.Anyway, calling station 1 in mid-position calls of course, calling station 2 in late position reraises to 40 and the BB (who is new to poker) cold-calls the 40. I am next to act and I know calling station 1 will call the reraise making it a 4-way flop. I also believe that I am dominated by at least the re-raiser.what are your thoughts at this point?1) I am somewhat pot-committed and getting 7:1 on my call, (in addition to the fact that I will be left with 3 big blinds and in the BB next hand)therefore I can't fold.2) If I have such a strong sense that I am dominated, I have to fold and pray I double up my miserable 25 chips.3) sumthin' elseNo wonder Doyle says he avoids playing AQ at all costs.

It was a 9 player live home game. Top 3 paid. Only 2 or 3 had been eliminated.And DILLIGAF, that is a dead link.

callcallcallcallcallcallCALL! You're getting 7-1, so unless the reraiser has aces, you're getting a good price. You're getting a chance to quarduple up here, which I don't think you can pass up at this stage. It's a crying call, but I'd say a call nonetheless.

You F'd yourself in the A by not pushing preflop.Call. Forget about the results. Make sure you open push next time.

I'll post results after more replies but trust me, my A would have been F'd if I pushed too.

So someone ended up beating you, doesn't change the fact that you need to either push or fold in that spot, but you called. Once you called, there is no way laying down A-Q as a very short stack with an opportunity to quadruple up is the right play.
