Re: AQ early facing re-raise
There wasn't really anything else to do here. Anything less than a standard raise with AQ in the cutoff after it is folded to you is weak, IMO, and there isn't really much point in raising more. You are getting sufficient odds to call the reraise. If button has AA, KK, QQ, or AK, well, that sucks and you will probably lose (although you will still have some chips left). However, button will not have those hands often enough that the price the pot is laying you will be sufficient to compensate you for those times that he does. So, you call, and, presumably, you lost. Couldn't have been avoided.
