On another note- Akline we don't defend the pros, just wait until more HSP/PAD comes out on TV and watch the insults fly...

Whats to say they arent limping with a big hand hoping for a raise? As the case was here. Just cause someone plays lower limits buy ins doesnt mean they dont understand higher thought process of poker. Hell live i wouldnt touch a small buyin game. But you dont see people  pushing any 2 everytime they are in the blinds on a limper. Pushing with any2 is just silly for fold equity or whatever. If you get called ur beat.

 
Wow just wow.  Good luck trying to win your first tourney with that level of thinking.  Anybody can play poker when they get good cards, its when they don't which seperates pros from joes.

I really thought i had the best hand so I called. Im not trying to argue with you 2 about the hand . Yes calling all in 's with AQ is a bad play most of the time, but this call was made, because of how he was playing sence they put him at my table. I'm not saying it was a donk move. I'm saying i caught on to his play , and called it with my AQ. I honestly thought he was pushing with any ACE, and if that was the case , I had him dominated. I am here for LEARNING . It just dont feel like you 2 are teaching .
 
I still don't think you are taking in the most important part of these comments.  Even though there are different answers on whether to call or not etc.. everybody is saying you need a plan.  What would you do if somebody in LP raised you, would you have called, 4bet, fold..  Also you didn't look at stack sizes.  When you play a pot with a guy with 10bbs or less it pretty much should be an auto-call especially with AQ and especially in a bounty tournament.

I LOVE the 6-2 shove when he only had 10 BB's. I've used this move numerous times from the BB or small blind against limpers hoping to steal a pot. I'll only do it with what i think will be live cards and never with a potentially dominated hand. It's not a donk move. It's a logical play on the theory the limpers have to have a hand to call with. They didnt show any strength so im going to put the pressure on them to make a call with a marginal hand. In this case you did have a good hand. I'm not going to say your call was bad, because I'm almost certain against a smart aggressive player like him I would have made that call also. However, I absolutely never would have limped with A-Q there in the first place. I just think limping in general is a bad practice. I'm fairly tight, but aggressive. When I play a hand I'll raise the same amount "most of the time" no matter what I am raising with so i dont give off betting patterns to good players. Against that guy though if I had A-Q in the small blind I might have limped and given him a chance to do what he just did to trap him. Poker is about making decisions and hopefully the right decisions. 1) I liked his decision to shove there. 2)I liked your decision to call there. 3) I didnt like your decision not to raise preflop with A-Q unless your intent was to trap him all along.
