Re: AQo out of position

Can you explain the beneifits of this?

Nick C broke down the nuts & bolts analysis of it beautifully, which is fortunate because we all know I ignore the detailed math part of it & just gut it out. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Mainly just summing up what Nick said, I c/r this flop because:
1) There's a fair possibility that I have the best hand.
2) That's exactly what I'd do if I was holding a pocket pair or had paired the flop. Especially if I had an ace kicker to go with my pair (i.e., A9s).
It's really all about representin'. I'm not too worried about the coldcaller because, again as Nick said, he would've raised himself if he had something he really liked, and in your typical Party game it's very likely that he's just hanging around with some underpair or a weak/medium ace. Plus, check/raising over the top of a bet and a call represents a pretty damn big hand, enough so that Mr. PFR might just toss his own AQ/AK immediately.
Understand that this is not my standard play, but I do use it fairly often in situations like this.
