Difficult AQ hand...maybe?

With a made hand, it's the reverse issue, you absolutely don't want to leave yourself pot stuck to a point where you have to pay off a draw but gave them solid implied odds to draw because the pot size on the river will leave you with less than 35% of the pot size in your stack.

From where does this 35% come ? Do you mean if you have more than 35% you are not pot commited ? or is it a number calculated in this example ? ( English is not easy for me, thank you for your understanding and your help )

It's a somewhat arbitrary # on where you're pot stuck against most players when an obvious draw gets there. Less than 25%, checking and folding is a mistake against most aggressive players becuase more often than 1 in 4 your opponent wasn't actually drawing and was also playing a made hand of some sort and will bet at you hoping to represent the draw. More than 40% and you can likely lay it down and be correct often enough to make it a good laydown. All this depends on the nature of the draw, how likely it was that your opponent was drawing at all and how aggressive they are, like most things in poker it's relative.

Tremendous post, thanks.

IHC,
Thank you for elaborating. I found the first paragraph very helpful, but after reading the second one over and over I'm still unsure what the conclusion is. Could you clarify the made-hand issue?
Thanks

Ok, read it once more. So are you saying you should be planning on raising proportionally to the stack sizes, not necessarily the BB pf (if it looks like it will be HU)?

Say AZK had ATd in this case. Is there a fine balance between giving villain a bad price and not committing yourself to the pot if he decides to draw anyway?
Thanks once more.
