Where did you go wrong?


Preflop, except it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the guy IN FRONT of you called 2 bets cold w/A-3, flopped 2 pair, and then rivered a boat, while the bb was allowed to stay in the pot with a crappy little pocket pair, flopped a set, and rivered a boat.


If the winner had been on your RIGHT, well, then, your flat call preflop would have been what would've cost you the pot, because, well, you'd have lost him and the bb by 3-betting (one might hope).


I consider AQs a 3-bet hand against all but the VERY tightest players.
