AQs folded pre-flop

[Hoi Polloi]

Aggressive table. MP2 and SB are TAGs. Took me awhile to make the decision but I felt like I was cold-calling Axs against this action.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.

I make that call in the BB, although being stuck in between the two raisers sucks.

You can play. If MP2 is a good TAG, his average opening hand is much worse than AQs in this spot. You may have him dominated. SB has a stronger hand than MP2, but not necessarily AA/KK/AK. With Button in, you're in a playable spot and at least have position on SB.

I think that against 3 other players AQs is playable hand for 2 bets on BB. Normally this is call.

But this is somehow borderline decision. If you have good reads folding is ok. Out of position AQs is not great hand against raiser and re-raiser.

Best case scenario that I can come up with is that MP2 open raises something you have dominated (AJ, KQ, something worse?) and is 3-bet by 77-JJ. This exact situation does not seem too likely, and you're horribly dominated a lot of the time here. I think this is a fine fold, but I doubt I'd be able to fold in the moment.
