with the first hand... should the a-q hand have raised it all-in preflop or was this raise correct?... how about raising it to 200? every hundred counts it seems... after the flop... should the a-q have called that all-in bet? did he have enough outs? could he be ahead? was he pot committed?

i am asking some very basic questions... but i've never 'discussed' poker before and would love some input to these 'simple' situations that we face regularly... in some situations... one can afford to mix things up... but in this situation... it seems that there should be a 'standard' play...

Good play, and I don't really fault either, though Cardzeus must have been grinning when he was called all-in, as he was unlikely to be beat with that flop coming down.
