Re: AQ
Easy raise for me. Getting donked twice in a row at $2 $4 happens 50 times a session and my TPTK is going nowhere. With the LP player still in I want to raise here, drive him out, and perhaps get a free showdown if he does not donk again. You say he is a "typical" $2 $4 player but such an animal does not exist. LAGs make this move all the time and I have seen many a decnt stat player do this with no hand and no draw. True that usually they have something but it is often not much. I am not folding to a 3 bet either as he could have just queens with a worse kicker or a ropey 2 pair that I have a good few outs against.
The only time I could even consider dropping here is if the LP guy 3 bets it, then I am worried.
Edited to say that without the LP player in I can just call this down. No need to push a bluffer or middle pair bettor out and we can get to showdown for 2 more BBs.
