OOP TPTK hand AQ.

[dibbs]

Good 25$NL full ring game.

1 limper, MP minraises,call, call,I call in SB with red AQo, BB and EP limper call.

Flop comes A/images/graemlins/club.gif K/images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Pot is at 3$. All players have around 100 bbs.

A minraise from that guy means face cards but not AK AQ or a premium pair. He and all other players in hand are quite bad and loose, not over aggressive.

Lead this, check-call, how do you play this out?

Can you count on him to fire again with KJ etc? If yes, I'd go for a big check-raise otherwise i like leading the pot.

You don't need to play AQo in a (min) raised pot...I'm at a table with position on a chronic min-raiser and i've popped it up 4x his min-raise ($2) with AQo a few times and gotten it heads up. Going for a check-raise on this flop might not be a good idea. AQo on an AK3 2-club flop isn't quite strong enough to check raise, even if the villian is likely to make a continuation bet with a hand you beat. While many people love "seeing flops" I prefer to take control of the hands where i have a premium holding and narrow the field. Since the players are weak enough to give you their stack anyway, you only gain from isolating the field.

Always check raise here to get dead money in the pot from PF callers. Also if the action is crazy in front of you it's maybe a fold.
