OK we're playing some 5-5 NLHE, 8 players, stacks fairly deep except for a brand new player who buys in for $200. Everyone else has +$800.

middle position raises to $25, new player in cutoff calls. flop is

A 6 2 rainbow. middle position goes all in for about $600, cutoff calls. MP has AK, CO has AQ. River's a Q.

NOW, the MP player starts steaming about how he got sucked out. I told him he was doomed from the start of the hand, given the fact that the CO player wouldn't lay his hand down either on the flop, turn or river, regardless of how it was going to play out. does this follow?

Basically my point was, there was no way AQ was folding anywhere in that hand....he just simply got sucked out. true?
