15/30

Villain is tight passive, so you can imagine my concern

Hero is BB with AQ

3 limpers, SB completes, hero checks

Flop: A Q 7 rainbow

SB checks, Hero bets, 1 call, 1 fold, Raise, Hero 3-bets, first caller folds, raiser caps, hero calls

turn: blank

Hero bets, villain raises, hero calls

river: J

hero checks, villain bets, hero calls

Raise preflop.

Rest is standard.

5-handed with AQo OOP, is that such an easy raise?

5-handed, yes. You are very rarely up against any hands dominating yours, and many of your opponents certainly have worse/dominated hands. Easy value raise.

Re: i know its standard but....
 

But AQo is a hand that is dropping in value in multiway pots. Even if the five opponents are limping only moderate hands you only got 2-5% equity edge or something. But you are drawing the line at 5-handed in this spot right?

Raise preflop.

I think you can make an argument for a turn check-call but I play it the same as you. Sorry you lost. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Im testing with some combos at http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_odds...ldem/index.php
Hmm.. Its not that clear you got an edge at all. When i tried some combo it had only 16%, not dominated and only limping hands by the opponents.

Re: i know its standard but....
 

When your opponents have:
1: KTo
2: 33
3: QJs
4: 86s
You don't have any equity edge. You got only 19.5%.
