Re: 1-4-88 spread limit;
He has to be raising with quite a few hands WORSE than AQ before you can reraise. I think AQ is about even money if his minimume raising standards are AT.
On the flop ... well we just have to assume he's raising too much. When the A hits and he bets ... well, I'd just call. [1] Either you or he has a paltry 3 outer [2] he may be bluffing with a 2-outer pair AND keep bluffing, or decide to pay you off since you didn't raise the flop.
How two solid hands match up HEADSUP is quite a bit different than multi-way or when the other guy has loose standards. "Slow-playing" in the first situation is quite a bit different than slow-playing in the 2nd.
You played well against the routine aggressive-loose folk, not against the solid player.
