AQo in the SB against a raise

[btspider]

Sanity check hand. My -210 BB slide was shaved to -120 BB and then a wave of great, but dominated, cards have dropped me back to -200 BB from my peak.

Opponent is decent. A bit tight preflop, but has a PFR of 7.

Looks good.

I like it.

With a 7% PFR, he'll raise KQ, KJs, ATs, AJs, etc. I think you can call this. I'm not saying 7% is wildly loose or anything, but it's a lot different from 4%.

I like the rest of the hand.

Hey bt,
Looks good to me. What's your plan if he raises you on the turn? (I ask this because if I'm holding AA or AK, that would be my line against your c/r) I can't see him having a hand that the T helped that you weren't already behind, so you have to bet the river. If he does, then you need to readjust your read down from decent.

after a turn raise? that's a mighty fine question. i generally call down unless i have a great read. no good?

i chopped the river action not because of the board pairing which changed nothing, but because villian folded.

You can call down against me anytime /images/graemlins/grin.gif (I think I would prolly call down too.)

What's the deal with people cold-calling raises with AQ in the SB these days? Am I missing something? If I think his raising standards are sufficiently loose to justify seeing the flop, I'm much happier 3-betting to exclude BB and put pressure on the limpers (with a possible cap behind them).
