Just got down to the ft in this $20 27 man sng, 9 left, paying 5. Raiser wasnt too active ,18/14 , and I wouldnt give him too many mid sc’s or junk b’way hands in his range. I figured my AQ was about a flip to his 66+, ATs+, AQo+, along with alot of fold equity. I didn’t really want to spew chips as I felt the chips I would lose were worth more than the chips I would win at this point.  

Flatting and folding to a cbet seemed weak, too strong of a hand to fold. A shove may fold 66, 77, 88, and wasnt sure if he would call w AJs, prob not. I really didnt like any beting option here.

BTW – 1st time poster – just joined last week. Really like the site.
