so I think I'm better off not making a continuation bet here, out of position. I still have t700 and can still play some hands and t575 is far different than t700

Eh, I don't have a huge problem with it, though it's not the prettiest hand in the world. I'll typically raise a little more preflop, but it's not a crime that you didn't.

If it's heads-up, the continuation bet is mandatory though.

I really dont like limping AKo in the blind, AQ is alright. I think this was played pretty much fine, and about the line I would have taken too.

[curtains]

I USUALLY just flat call here in the SB. Of course raising is fine too, but I'd raise a bit more than 65 in general. I like to encourage people to fold as much as possible when Im in the blind and thus acting first the rest of the hand.

[Newt_Buggs]

I think that you played it fine

I like the smallish pf raise to build up the pot with a superior hand witout scaring everyone out.

I don't mind calling, because you can probably trap someone on the flop by check/raising when you hit. It's also much cheaper when you miss. If you are going to raise, I think it needs to be more. The purpose of raising here out of position is to isolate against 1 player since you want to maximize the chance of winning the pot when you miss, and you don't mind if everyone folds either.

[Newt_Buggs]

not me, i raise so that I can build the pot. I want people calling since they have worse hands. If I get more than one caller that's fine, it just means that I'm usually going to be check/folding a missed flop
