AQ early facing re-raise
I'm not sure what to do with this hand. I feel like folding this in CO is criminal. But I didn't want to go all-in, since I didn't think it was worth it for 75 chips (even though that is 10% of my stack). The button was the worst one to re-raise me, since I'm still pot-committed against him, but have to use of the majority of my stack to call.
Thoughts?

Re: AQ early facing re-raise
There wasn't really anything else to do here. Anything less than a standard raise with AQ in the cutoff after it is folded to you is weak, IMO, and there isn't really much point in raising more. You are getting sufficient odds to call the reraise. If button has AA, KK, QQ, or AK, well, that sucks and you will probably lose (although you will still have some chips left). However, button will not have those hands often enough that the price the pot is laying you will be sufficient to compensate you for those times that he does. So, you call, and, presumably, you lost. Couldn't have been avoided.

Easy, easy, call. Seriously, folding this is horrible.

Re: AQ early facing re-raise
I'm interested to know how you react to a raise or a push from the BB who has (t1495). based on that, then decide how to play this hand accordingly.

Re: AQ early facing re-raise
I would also call a BB push. Pot odds are just too good. When you get AQ four handed (which is what this effectively is), a the range of hands that most people reraise are on the average still behind AQ.

Re: AQ early facing re-raise
w/o a read, an allin from the BB would be closer to break even maybe...but I think its still a call.
OP's hand is instacall. |
