Borgata 10/25 new AQo line....

[AZK]

10/25, good game, I've been playing for about 20 minutes, haven't done much. Solid TAG limps UTG (Roco for the regulars), LAG who is running good (3k -> 33k in 10 hours, yes it's all on the table) limps, both blinds are the biggest preflop calling stations in the game, they call anything. I have AQo on the button and about 3.5k, I limp.

Comments?

does this even matter?

i hope you left out the rest of the hand by accident..

That game was DISGUSTING. I didn't play, but sweated a friend who is a regular in the game. The action is unreal...I may play next time in AC. But the 40 and 80 games are so good, it's tough to leave my comfort zone. I'm not too fond of getting a $5000 bluff thrown in my direction...tough decisions.

I still like a raise here.

Yes it is most likely that everyone will call it, but there is always a chance one of the blinds will fold.

In the long run i think its gonna save you money when you flop top pair and they have some garbage 2 pair that they would have folded to a PFR.

Reminds me of Diablo AQo Scenario (http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=plnlpoker&Number=324072&Fo rum=,,,,,,All_Forums,,,,,,&Words=&Searchpage=6&Lim it=25&Main=324072&Search=true&where=bodysub&Name=1 22&daterange=1&newerval=&newertype=w&olderval=13&o ldertype=m&bodyprev=#Post324072).

looks pretty standard. if you raise, once the blinds come along then utg and the lag are obviously joining in as well, leading to an inflated pot with 5-way action; with AQo, gonna be real tough to flop something you'd wanna play a huge pot with. also, rocco is entirely capable of lrr-ing in that spot (and not necessarily with a better hand than yours).

[AZK]

Forgot about that Diablo post. My logic was the same as what he said and what Mike said in this thread. Sweet.

If I raise to 150, it means I have to play a $600ish pot or more preflop with 3k behind and AQo, against this lineup. Not fun.

[RollaJ]

id personally rather have a 500 pot HU with position, than have AQ vs 4 opponents..... but its not really "bad" to just call.
Rocco is really a lot looser than people tend to give him credit for imo

[AZK]

Yes, but plays very well postflop

That game was taking away players from the 10/20 game I was playing because they had to gawk at the large pots.

[kagame]

if its suited do you automatically raise?

was considering this, i think a just call with AQs on the button is absolutely badass

[AZK]

No, I'd def raise AQs. Does that make any sense? It's funny when something is soooted how it goes to auto-raise...

[Heimdal]

I don’t understand this. Why do you want to raise when it suited but not when it’s offsuit? Not that it’s a big deal, but I just don’t understand it. If you raise people will fold hands like T6s and K9s that you could have won a big pot from when you both hit.

I have thought a lot about this after I read this (http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=366520&page=&view=&sb=5&o =&fpart=all&vc=1) essay by limon where he says: “Note about the play of the above hand. If I have AJ suited on the button in that situation I probably DON’T raise before the flop. I want players with lower flush draws coming in with me so I can break them. I also don’t want to risk the chance of getting limp re-raised and having to lay down a hand that is drawing to the nuts.”

I’m confused
