AQ hand - is this standard?
 

Just sat down so no reads.

SB is 40/13 over 40 hands
MP2 is 26/6 over 40 hands

I didn't take these stats too seriously because it's only 40 hands.

I didn't want to raise because I'm out of position here. Should I?

Don't see much point in raising apart from maybe clearing up some outs, but you might not get him to fold anyway and there's a good chance you're up against an overpair that's going to 3 bet. I peel. Call the turn, if he has something like KK you have up to 10 outs.

Edit: Maybe folding the flop is best I'll have to look deeper later.

That was a crazy game of poker you just played.

I 3 bet an open raiser with AQo in the BB all day long.

I don't know what you were doing on the flop. You have a gutshot and a back door flush draw. I don't think raising is the best play.

I raised to try to get MP out.

But MP has already shown aggression preflop. With no reads, and a raggedy flop, did you think he would fold?

He had around 10 outs on the flop and 8sb's in the pot...he easily has the odds to call, do you not think raising is a good move here to try and force the preflop raiser out ? I do, but then I'm a n00b [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I like the play so far and think you JUST ABOUT have the odds to call on the turn.

Yes, you are still drawing though. Why raise and have MP 3-bet and blow out SB?

Re: AQ hand - is this standard?
 

yea peel teh flop.

Re: AQ hand - is this standard?
 

I think you have to call and see the river. Your Ace and maybe even your Queen could well be outs. Your gutshot should be good for the whole pot most of the time. You're getting good enough odds to see a river.

If you hit the Ace or your gutshot, I would donk the river. The Queen is good for a check-call imho. But I wouldn't call a river bet without improvement.

OK so the fact he's shown agression puts you off raising. I'm guessing you would raise if he just limped preflop ?
