Default Re: AQ in SB with a raise UTG

I check call down if he is aggressive.

i agree. if he doesn't have AK beat, he's going to fold to your raise. if you call and he has QQ, he'll convince himself that he needs to fire again on the turn, and you'll get more money out of him.

i'm not sure yet if I like this. If checked to, would villain possibly check AK or better and bet any other holding? If so I think thats a great plan. If he's just as likely to bet it out any set or AK (which I kind of doubt) when checked to you have no way of figuring where you're at and might have to face calling very large amounts on all three streets not knowing whether you're facing: 1 a bluff in response to weakness, 2 value bets from better hands, and 3 a "value" bet from worse hands.
