Re: Difficult AQ hand...maybe?
It's a somewhat arbitrary # on where you're pot stuck against most players when an obvious draw gets there. Less than 25%, checking and folding is a mistake against most aggressive players becuase more often than 1 in 4 your opponent wasn't actually drawing and was also playing a made hand of some sort and will bet at you hoping to represent the draw. More than 40% and you can likely lay it down and be correct often enough to make it a good laydown. All this depends on the nature of the draw, how likely it was that your opponent was drawing at all and how aggressive they are, like most things in poker it's relative.
