Hi guys, I've been reading the HUSH forum semi-regularly and playing 1/2 6-max every once in awhile. I still don't seem to have a great feel on PF strategy vs. an EP raise. So I'm wondering, how would you guys play behind a UTG/UTG+1 raise with the following hands in CO/Button?

AQs/AJs
AQ/AJ
KQs/KJs
KQ/KJ
QJs/QJ
99-77

And how about if they were a UTG raise, and you're in UTG+1?

Normally at a full ring game, I fold all of the above except AQs and KQs which are a call.

You'd hope to have a read to direct your action, and it's going to vary depending on the level and table texture but in the absence of such pesky details and assuming a pretty aggro raiser ...

AQs/AJs - AQs 3bet; probably AJs too, but maybe coldcall
AQ/AJ - AQ 3bet; AJ mix of 3-bet, fold, coldcall depending on image and opponents.
KQs/KJs - 3bet KQs; KJs cold call if I expect other callers fold otherwise (I'd 3-bet a LAG).
KQ/KJ - KQ mix of 3-bet, cold call depending; KJ fold.
QJs/QJ - QJs occasional cold call if multiway is likely, otherwise fold; QJ fold
99-77 - 3-bet, 77 fold if multiway is likely.

Exposing my sucky play for the world to see, one post at a time,
Benjamin

With no read I'd 3bet everything except KJo/QJs/QJo which are folds.

I 3bet AQs in full ring and fold KQs.
