Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
No Reads, as I just sat down at the table.
Does anyone fold this flop? An A or Q is probably dirty, In my mind Im drawing to a straight or flush against a paired board, perhaps not the smartest thing to do even though the pot was large...

Re: Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
The flop call is fine. You have somewhere around 5 outs for your straight and flush draws even if you ignore your overcards. Getting 14:1 this is a good call.
Rest of the hand looks fine. |

Re: Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
i like everything about how you played this hand. on the flop your getting odds to draw for a king, plus the back door flush draw. on the turn you catch perfect. i like the value raise. river plays itself. nice hand.

I hope by "questionable" you meant "easy". Please don't ever fold the flop here. I probably would have just called the turn as well.

Re: Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
I thought about calling the turn, fearing that even if I hit my draw, I might still be up against a boat. However, no one aside from UTG+1 showed any aggression on the flop, and then he checked the turn.
There is also the small chance Im buying myself outs, as well as slimming down the field. |

I don't really like the turn raise. It's for value if you get 3 callers, but I don't see it "cleaning up" Ace outs or Queen outs. I'd call.

Re: Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
I agree that the turn raise isn't going to clean up any overcard outs but isn't this raise at least break even with just 2 callers? I think hero is good here a little more than 33% of the time and UTG+1 is almost always going to cold call given his flop action. All you need is either SB to call or MP3 to reappear from the dead and call.

You need 3 for it to be +EV -- 2 is almost breakeven, but not quite. Rob |

Re: Questionable Flop Call w/AQs
Your play is fine, on the flop youve at least 5 outs making the call fine. Really like the raise on the turn too.
