Default Re: AQo out of position

I think the flop call is all right. I'm not crazy about your "outs," but the thing is, you could have the best hand. You'll get bluffed out on the turn sometimes when you do have the best hand, though, and maybe that's why Harv wants to checkraise.

I tend to check the turn, mainly because a bet practically announces my hand. If I did check, I think I'd checkraise if MP3 called. If MP3 folded, I'd consider just calling, with the plan of donking the river.

Edit: If UTG checked and MP3 bet, I'd probably checkraise without thinking about it much, but I'm wondering if just calling, with the plan of leading the river if UTG stays in, would be better. If we call and UTG gets out, then a river checkraise might be something to consider. But I'm not very good at figuring out when river checkraises are a good idea.

It doesn't seem like hand protection should be a big issue on the turn versus UTG, so I won't be crying too hard if the turn gets checked through.
