This is why I don't raise AQo UTG in the early levels.

Fold, btw.

Against a super tight player, I can't imagine that his reraising range is broader than AA-JJ, AK. I'm not too excited about taking AQ up against this range, since it's going to cost me a lot of chips when I'm wrong and probably not get me too many when I'm right. So I think this is a fold. However, I'll disagree with tigerite and say that it's good that you raised this precisely because it's allowed you to play this well against a tight opponent, assuming your plan isn't limp-folding PF. It would be considerably more expensive to take a flop after limp-calling, hit and still get blown off the hand.

9-handed, so this is essentially utg+1. still limping?

tigerite · #6 08-05-2005, 10:54 AM

Yes. I may even fold it, depends on my mood.

i folded after about 3 seconds. maybe not an interesting hand after all, except the first action.

anyone else think limping or folding is better than raising? this is a 33, btw.

This is a limp or fold for me too. I don't raise AQo UTG until 8 handed or less.

If you limp you can just fold to the raise pre-flop, and you've lost less chips. I don't think AQo is a raising hand in this spot. I'd probably limp and fold to a riase.
