Default Re: AQ

I think the turn donk represents significant weakness. If he had T9, he would have been inclined to check-raise. His donk makes me think his range is going to be heavily weighted towards hands like QT/JT/KQ/KJ. The coldcaller isn't beating us unless he is holding T9, and he'll let us know by three-betting the turn with that hand. The rest of his range is comprised of hands that are behind us but that have outs, and we'd do well to make him face two bets cold.

So my plan is to raise. If the cold-caller three-bets, I'm folding. If L1 three-bets...then we have problems...and it's close between folding and calling down, but I think I fold.

Even though getting three-bet is ugly, the pot is big enough and our hand vulnerable enough that it has to be right to raise.
