Default Re: Party $15-$30.. How bad is this?

I'd reraise here 100% of the time. I really wouldn't even think twice about this or think its all that tough a decision.

I'm pretty shocked about how many would even consider folding here.

Fold. Be done with it. AQo to a near UTG raise is an easy muck.

It is?

You are right, 3 bet in your sleep. IMO anything less shows a serious lack of understanding of what is happening. Dead money, button, 7 handed game, Party Poker what more do you need to 3 bet AQo.

I'll admit I overread the 7 handed part. Read it quickly and just missed it.

I often do have a lack of understanding of what is happening (seriously, not sarcastically.)

I was tought that in any decent game, 3 betting AQo against an UTG raise is reckless and a mistake. I can understand if he is super weak tight and will give up easy and your raise will get respect...or if he's super loose...

Short handed play is something I really should get more familiar with. 7 doesn't seem too short, though.

This is one of the hands I posted about AQo a long time ago, and when I generally stopped doing it. link here

Easy 3 bet.
The 2 things most people aren't factoring in:
1) It's 7 handed
2) There's an extra big blind (note this also means that the Questioneer's raising standards will be somewhat looser than normal).

I 3-bet AQ or cold call much more often than I fold it on Party Poker. You should read the John Feeney AQ test. Most raisers aren't very tight. Only against tight raisers should you fold.

What's it like being a pro at the Turning Stone, anyway?

3) There's a cold caller.
That fact trumps 2), and 1) isn't even good news for AQo. Fold it.
