AQo large field
 

Table was pretty agressive. I went for a flop cr because it was likely that someone would bet. If it came from LP, I can protect against straight draws. Otherwise it's for value.

Unfortunately, the only overcard to my hand came on the turn. What's my move and plan for the rest of the hand? Thanks,

i cant say im betting this. but i could be wrong.

I'm not raising this preflop from the BB after 4 limpers. Should I be?

What hands will raise you if you bet the turn? You raised preflop, then showed tremendous strength by check-3-betting the flop. I think if I'm raised, I can throw it away since I'd be drawing very thin against 2-pair/set/straight with tainted Ace outs and choppable T outs.

Do you have a significant equity edge over 4 opponents? I think I do so I raise. You just have to be careful not to spew chips postflop when you miss badly. Ts9s7h sort of stuff.

I agree. So do you just check-fold any flop that misses you? Like a flop of K73 rainbow?

Talking postflop gets tricky. If everyone has WTSD &lt; 35% I might lead. I might try and cr a late position flop lag. I might fold to an EP bet and 2 calls. To many variable to talk about with certainty.

I don't raise AQo in the big blind, but I will raise AQs most of the time against typical limpers. Then again, my PFR% is just over 6.5% through 20K hands, so I clearly don't raise enough.

Does the extra value of suited AQ make this a raise, whereas AQ unsuited should not be raised?

Doesn't SSHE recommend raising AJs? Anyone have a copy?

I think you are right, although I don't recall what it says about AQo.

I checked, the turn checked through. River was a Q. I bet, a guy with a K called and MHIG.
