    Tight again but I fold here.

    You have almost 5bbs if fold which is very safe at this level so imo don't need to risk it at this stage.

    If you had 1000-1200 I would probz get it in but even then might not if I know player to my left will fold lots.

    I shove here. I very rarely fold AQ to a button raise with 5 big blinds, even in a DYM.  I think good players would either fold or shove smaller pairs, rather than just min raise, so if he's a good player then I'm not as worried about racing here as I would be if he'd just shoved. 

    Therefore, if my opponent is a good player, I'm putting them on larger pairs, or most likely Ax or 2 picture cards. If oppo shoves, I think it's a tougher decision than it is when he min raises, and becomes more player dependent, as a shove means that small pairs are also in his range, and you want to avoid racing in DYM's wherever possible as racing is going to lose both players money over time.

    If he's raised with Ax or KQ (or QJ as in this example), your opponent is crushed. I think if you spend your entire Poker life folding AQ because you're worried about a button raiser having AK or a big pair, then you're probably going to lose money in the long run, IMO, DYM or not.

    Just my $0.02.

    think it,s 50/50
    u,ve called with the far better hand
    just been unlucky
    there comes a time when u do need 2 make a stand,

    again, if u hadn,t been out drawn
    the hand wouldn,t even be up 4 discussion,
    it happens,

    This is prob the 1 I'd be most unsure about but only coz of his ridic min raise.

    If he just shoves it's a snap call again 4 me.

    Prob a sighhhhhh shove

    You got it in and the gods tuned a blind one. Often the min raise is a steal. Just ul

    considering anything other than a shove here is ridiculous
