There are actually two hands I have questions about. They both happened realatively close to each other.

rjk16???
I had a tight good image at the table. I called pre because I thought I might be able to out play him post flop. Then he made such a big bet on such a draw heavy board. I was putting him on a overpair, but I think he might make the same bet with trips or two pair. I don't think he makes a bet like that on a draw or air.
Is it wrong to fold top pair in that spot?
Now here is the AQo hand 7 hands later.

rjk16???
Chip leader raises 3x utg. He hasn't been getting out of line and that is a pretty big preflop raise, but I don't see how I make a play other than shoving.
What do you think?
1st hand… Is a tuff spot. Your really going to have to go on your reads with this one.
if you
Call – your going to have to make a big decsion on the turn, and probably for all your chips.
check raise all in – I don't mind this play, but your going to have to go with your reads. His pot bet is a bit of a over bet I can see Q 10 being good here alot of the time.
Fold- You can wait for a better spot to pick up chips.
and with AQ im shoving here most of the time!! it's 5 handed and your going to be ahead of his raising range alot here.
Hand 1: I dont see him on trips there as he's getting no value with the pot bet. I think an overpair is most likely and it doesnt look like he is folding to a shove. So I reluctantly fold.
Hand 2: V could have a hand or it could just be the big stack trying bully the table on the FT bubble. I think his range is pretty wide and AQ is just to good to pass there.
B
I fold hand one against an UTG raiser with only 25bbs behind. It's either a shove or fold pre-flop, and I lean heavily towards a fold. If it was a button raise or sb raise, I probably jam the QThh.
AQ in the second hand I jam no matter what with your stack against a big stack's raise.
thanks for input on both hands guys. I did shove with AQ and he had Ks (the Ks held up). I didn't think there was anything else I could do there, but I thought I would ask.
Hand 1: I do not call UTG raise with 25bigs. If you flop T or Q there is still a good chance you are no good. Yeah your hand might flop well (if deep), but you cant flat oop with 25bigs. With 25bb's, we are looking for +EV spots in position.
Hand 2: Our hand has too much value to fold with our current stack. The early position 3x looks a lot like a medium pair. I am smiling getting it in here knowing I have to win a race to double and even have him beat some of the time.
