I call preflop planning to jam if there's an A or Q. Villain is pretty tight, but he can be open raising with JT or other things like that. The lead on the flop could be a pair or could just be continuation from high cards. I feel like I'm losing a lot of equity playing this way, but anything else would basically put me all in.

This isn't weak, I'd fold the damn thing pf.

I'd never call with AQ preflop here. Sometimes I'll raise if I think the original raiser was a donk, but normally I fold.

same. just fold preflop, I might even fold AK pf if the raiser is a earlylevel TAG pushbot

What's wrong with calling here and playing some post-flop poker? You guys are saying you'd never do it but you've got no explanation.

Re: Party $33 : I play AQ so weak, help?
 

Yeah. I think you have to fold to his flop lead-out. But I don't mind calling with AQ in position from a potential stealer.

Re: Party $33 : I play AQ so weak, help?
 

The reason you can't "play poker" on the flop is simple. If the hero wants to raise this flop to see where he is, its gonna cost him 1/2 his stack. If he calls and reevaluates on the turn, its going to cost him 1/4 of his stack.

If hero hits an A on the flop, he needs to beware of AK. If hero hits a Q on the flop, he needs to beware of AA/KK.

In deepstack situations i dont mind playing poker, but theres just no room for it in a $33 SNG. So i fold PF.

I wouldn't fold AK though
