Default Re: laying down AQ

Sure you get bluffed out once in awhile but the raise on the turn there is STRONG, usually signaling at least two pair. I don't think people bluff often enough with a raise on the turn to make it profitable to call down (unless you know you're opponent is capable of doing this).

Do you really think the humps online playing low limits are capable of raising you on the turn with something you can beat? You can make the crying calls on the turn and river and I used to do it alot too, but I always end up kicking myself for it ("I KNEW he had me beat...")

Also if you've read the Middle Limit Hold Em book by Caffione (yeah it's middle limit but I think a lot of it applies to the smaller stakes), the authors heavily favor folding in situations like this, where you get raised on the turn with a holding that can only beat things that call it down...
