I had this hand earlier, and to be honest, I didn't think much of it, I thought it was completely standard and just moved on. Since then, I mentioned it to people and they said I should have folded to the shove and should be less gambly.
I figured, I'm flipping sometimes, but more often that not I'm crushing them or at least 60/40, very rarely am In ever gonna be in serious trouble here? What are your thoughts. I don't have much in the way of reads, only that he is definitely not great and aint playing that solid, too much limping etc.
If this is a fold, then what do you call with? Do you fold AK too because you'll be flipping just as much with that and I don't see that much of a difference with a call there. Do you only call with TT+ or what? Or am I right and it is standard and the people I spoke to are too risk averse?
The result is unimportant although I did lose lol.

After rake there will be £2.96 in the pot, you have to put in £1.38 so you need to be better than 46.5% against his range... at NL4 with AQ... so SNAPPPP
AK significantly stronger though imo
You don't recognise him so he's likely a fish
He has less than 40BBs so he's likely a fish
Even if he shows up with KK/QQ you have outs
I'm folding this at nl4. AQ isn't a monster and there are just so many better spots to be had that you don't need to call off another 35 BB's here.
Different matter maybe if he's doing this a lot.
against these shorties i snap it off. people shove that stack with a lot worse than A10
But yeah when I posted that I thought to myself that the rake probably makes it not very profitable but I'm still never folding QQ pre.
eg AKdd vs QQch
Too many players at NL4 treat a short stack like tournament chips and shove when they're lowrolled with Ax lots of the time. I personally don't get it just - you can reload so there's no sense in just shoving 10, 20, 30+ big blinds when it's in a game like cash where you can afford to be patient. Because of this i'd call every time.
