Recently I was in a tournament in Atlantic City where the chip leader continued to put pressure by raising every pot. I decided to wait until I got a good hand, which was AQ.

So I raised then was re-raised by the chip leader. I had no choice but to go all in because I did not want to let this hand go. However, he had AK to my luck.

The flop was great which was QQ6, the river was an 8 and the turn was a Q.
This hand turned out great however; I also could of easily lost.
Does anyone have a suggestion about a player that continues to raise every hand?

I think that you did the right thing by waiting for a big hand, but AQ is really not that big of a hand. But any raising maniac will wake up with a hand once in awhile and accumulate a lot of chips. This is why this strategy can work if used properly.

Little unlucky you ran against him at a time when he had a big hand. Think you did the right thing and were rewarded for your patience in this instance with a good flop>

This isn't a hand to make all-in. You don't have a pocket pair.

Even if he had 22 he would rather got you beaten. Don't go all-in, just continue reraise (unless you are less than 20 times the BB).
