Fold preflop unless you know 2+2er raises lightly. Check the turn.

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

Yeah, the no raise on the flop really stumped me. I thought if he had a K he would raise, and he would probably raise with AA, QQ, JJ, TT, too. So I thought he either had 99, AJ or AQ like me and would fold to the turn bet.

I like the line 2+2er took.

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

Nah. 2+2er played it fine. Hero could easily have AA/KK/AK/TT, although KK is highly unlikely. 2+2 won the max he could in this hand, although maybe not in the specific hand.

Hero should have checked the turn and folded the river. Also, the preflop 3-bet is a bit suspect unless the 2+2er is me. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

I don´t think 2+2er should have raised the flop, as it is clearly noted, Hero would have fold there.

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

Hero would have the odds to call a flop c/r, but I like villain's play here.

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

Second that. An early position raise from a thinking player and I'm not excited about AQ.

Re: AQo against a 2+2er
 

1. The preflop 3-bet is fine. If he is raising with KJs there (and most 2+2ers will) then you are ok to 3-bet with AQ from late position. If he were UTG but you were UTG+1, it's probabaly still better to fold.

2. The guy with KJ should checkraise the turn, not the flop. No one folds to turn checkraises, especially online. He may even get 3-bet by AA, QQ or JJ that thinks he is making amove. No reason to worry about AK or TT yet, and he's got outs either way.
