Re: Get rid of AQ preflop in this spot?
 

I'm calling that small of a re-raise and taking a flop at least, if not only to preserve my table image. If people see you raising and then folding to a minimum re-raise, the better ones are going to be re-raising a lot. I see the min-reraise a lot of the time used just as an isolation move with a ok hand like TT, 99 or JJ as opposed to a premium pair and anyone who does this is probably not a very good player so you will be able to extract the maximum when you are ahead and lose the least when you are behind.

Nope. Maybe, maybe if there wasn't a caller and you were HU you could fold it. Whenever someone minraises you, you pretty much always have odds to call the minraise preflop. But you're getting 5.7:1 on the $1 you need to put in the middle to play this 3-way. Call, play careful postflop. Be wary of an Ace on the board. Be careful on a Q high flop. Tread softly. Sometimes you're up against ATs and 75o. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd just like to add that sometimes I'm clicking around doing other things on the computer right as the table comes up and I accidentally hit the re-raise button so I'd have a totally random hand here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So if I am sure he has AA KK QQ or AK what odds do I need to make this call? Reraiser had kings.

not disagreeing just wanted to see the math

if you are sure that he has those hands you need to fold regardless.
