Default Re: AQo out of position

This is exactly the kind of situation where I'd try a c/r on the flop. .

Can you explain the beneifits of this?

I can see that a flop checkraise sets up a potential steal on the turn. Also, it's possible we have the best hand.

Still, it's not a default play for me.

Well, let's see where we tend to stand vs. the PFR. (I'm going to have to invent a range here.)

AA = 3
KK = 6
QQ = 3
JJ = 6
TT = 6
99 = 3
88 = 6
AK = 12

AQ = 9

AJ = 12
AT = 12
KQ = 12

Well, all right, we'll be ahead of the PFR a decent amount of the time, and we'll have some steal potential (vs. AK/AQ) on some occasions when we're not ahead.

There is also the third guy to worry about, but I guess in theory he'd be raising the flop with a vulnerable pair.
