Re: AQ from the BB

I would almost surely 3-bet this flop. If CO caps (assuming hes not a maniac) you can fold the turn here unimproved.

Ship__It.

Re: AQ from the BB

F -- Fold 'em. If there are 4 ppl or more, I would have no problem w/ a call. In this situation, you wouldn't want to call since you most likely have a better hand than CO since his raise is a likely attempt to steal/fold the blinds. Re-raising probably clears out the UTGs and puts you HU (3 handed at worst) with a likely best-hand scenario.

F -- I would try to check-raise here since the tendency for SSHE games is for players to check to the PF aggressor. Check-raising stands a good chance at protecting your fairly strong holding on this Flop (TP, BDFD) by folding the 2 UTG. This will only work if you are fairly certain it will get checked to CO on the Flop though

If CO smooth calls you are most likely ahead right now or he could be setting you up for a raise on the T w/ a stronger holding. If he 3bets, well, check/call the T and bet the R, folding to a Raise.
I'm still learning a ton so this may be off a bit. Welcome to other suggestions. Oh yeah, any reads on CO?

Re: AQ from the BB

This situation is begging for a checkraise on the flop.

Re: AQ from the BB

Alot of this depends on what I think about CO, and what he's done recently.

Is he a 10%+ raiser? Okay, I 3-bet the pf. Doesn't mean he doesn't have anything good, but he could be raising with Axs.

Is he a 2% raiser? Okay, I fold pf.

Is he unknown? I call pf, and raise him and push him post-flop until he proves to me what he's got. That means 3-bet on the flop and I only call down if he caps it.

KO

Very nice, except with all that dead money in there, you can PFR.

Re: AQ from the BB

Thought about it, and honestly what prevented me from doing it is that I'm running bad... I know it's bad but I admit it.
