Too aggressive AQs?

[ThePenguin]

Am I overvaluing my hand in EP pre-flop? I thought that after the fact, post-flop play was standard. Thoughts?

nah i like ur aggresiveness, especially preflop. i dont know what mp3 could have with him capping on the flop, maybe same hand as u?? i think u win this hand, let me know the results

I'm not a fan of 3-betting an UTG raise with AQs. in addition to most players raising only premium hands, there's a reasonable chance of of the 8 players behind you wakes up with a better hand than you, which will leave you out of position and dominated. this is one of the few spots I wouldn't really mind a cold call 2nd in, but I'd just muck it

I just noticed he was almost all in, so it's fine.

postflop is perfect

[pokerkai]

Id muck here...
with better position and couple cold callers in front of you, id cold call, but unless youve got a read on the utg as a lag, i dont like the 3bet.

post flop is exactly how i would play it...probably the only way to play it

Results are in:

MP did in fact have AQ, the pre-flop capper shows JJ, and the guy to my left shows a set of fours on the flop. he wins AQ loses

I had a read on UTG's top five raising hands, but only for 50 or so hands. I wouldnt have 3-bet pre-flop if my notes didnt tell me he likes to raise KJ, KQ, and AJ

Is that from Billy Madison? Awesome!

UTG+2 CC 3 bets preflop with 44? Damn, maybe I should look for 2/4 when it's not the first night of a $200 reload bonus....

These are bad to raise with preflop? Is this the worst you've seen him raise with in this spot? If so, be careful.
