Default Re: An AQo Hand...TPTK...

I would checkraise this flop after UTG+2 calls the Button's flop bet. You really can't protect here because of your position. Plus, you may not have the best hand. Checkraising the flop will also give you more reliable information of Button's holding and prevent UTG+2 from raising in this hand without the goods.. If Button 3-bets, then I just call down. I have the added benefit of being able to see how UTG+2 reacts if a 3rd straight/flush card hits, allowing me to release my hand cheaply if he wakes up.


EDIT: I also don't like leading this turn. You are only going to get raised by a better hand. Yes, you might force UTG+2 out, but it's pointless if you are 2nd best, since you will be drawing very thin. Get your money in on the flop.
