Re-raise the flop. Nice hand.

[Pil Sung Do]

Re-raise the flop.

Why?

[Chris Daddy Cool]

Nice hand. And no, don't reraise preflop, unless MP1 is a total maniac.

[zuluking]

Let me get this straight. DON'T re-raise with AQ suited pre-flop in a LLHE game?!?!? I suppose he should limp/call with AK also? How about QQ?

Firstly, AK and QQ are significally stronger than AQ. I hope you can see why, which is the exact reason why you shouldn't reraise from the blinds with it because you're a) out of position and 2) possibly dominated.

However, if you're to the left (preferably dirct left) of the preflop raiser, then it becomes a 3bet. Do you see why?

[Pil Sung Do]

I'm hoping for more opinions on the C/r instead of leading out on the flop.

Thanks

Re-raise pre-flop may knock out BB, which is a good thing here.

[ResidentParanoid]

Check-raise here on the flop is OK. It may knock BB out, but that may clean things up for your A and Q outs, or make your A-high more likely to be a winner.
