Re: $30: AQ pre-flop fold?
I'm folding, simple reason. Unless I have a read that the re-raiser is a maniac, I'm putting him on the following range:
AA-JJ
AK
That's it. You're completely dominated by all but one of them. Sure, there are some maniacs out there who will re-raise an EP raiser with less than that (maybe a few times you'll chop with another AQ and an even fewer times you'll be ahead KQs or AJs). But absent reads, I don't think that happens very often.
Many times you'll miss the flop and muck it there, after calling off another 100 chips. Some other times you'll hit a Q-high flop and lose all your chips against KK or AA. Some other times you'll hit an A-high flop and lose to a set of something like jacks, queens, kings, or even aces. In short, you're not taking down enough chips when you win, you're going broke when you hit but it's not enough, and you're folding the flop so many times it's unbearable.
Save your chips and get back to business next hand. There's a LONG way to go.
