Final Pot: t732.50

First hand MP1 called small raise in sb with AQ and check raised all in to preflop raiser when hit Q for tptk. On flop do I reraise and if so how much? I really dont want MP1 comming back over the top here. On the other streets I have no idea what to do. I felt MP1 had PP and was afraid of the ace, but not sure if my jack beat his. I'm sure there are about ten things I could have done differently on the streets, so please give me your thoughts.

You can't reraise a check on the flop?? You may be talking about preflop, but I think calling is the best option there.

I don't lose more than 55 chips here.

If you really think he has a pp and insist on winning this pot, then you have to represent the ace. Because if he does have qq or kk you don't win by calling. And if he has a lower pp then you win. I fold though to any action after the flop (I'm play pretty weak early though).

I like your line except I'd fold on the turn thinking he has an ace. If I got to the river I'd call.

So do you just call the raise pre flop? Keep in mid this is a $22.
