Default Re: AQ in SB with a raise UTG

[ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]Or he hits his straight or set because I play it passively. Ir he bets his top two with enough on the turn plus river where I have a decision to make, one for a lot more chips than the CR cost me on the flop. See, that's what UI didn't want to become - a calling station. Sometimes calling villain down is the right move, but if I'd rather know where I stand (or at least have a better idea) than pay off AK here because he *could* have a lesser holding (or let him his his backdoor straight or soemthing).
