preflop standard.
the flop i like a lot of options, namely betting 200-250 to checking and seeing. |

Re: ($11) level 2 AQ utg
TPTK on the flop - pot size bet, fold to raise.
Wouldn't raise that much UTG with AQo - if you'd raised to 60 or 90 preflop then you wouldn't be looking at such a large pot sized bet now. Plus, a reraise from someone else would give you an idea of what they had. |

Re: ($11) level 2 AQ utg
I don't like an UTG raise PF this early with AQo. If you're doing anything here, you're calling and trying to see the flop cheaply. Raising dumps off ~10% of your stack, and then you're folding to a re-raise. Getting called likely means you're up against a medium pocket or AK...either way you're screwed. The only time your preflop raise should make you happy is when everyone folds...and then you've risked a decent percentage of your stack in exchange for 45 chips, plus one more PF lowers your "solid" table image that you should want come bubble time.
That said, if I wake up in your post-flop shoes...I pot it...lotta draws out there even against the one opponent. Don't give him the odds to chase correctly. If villain pushes over the top of your pot bet, I fold absent a decent read on that particular opponent. Tricky opponents may push a draw, and dumb opponents may push a draw...standard opponents usually only push against the preflop raiser when they have you beat. |

Level 2 of a $10 SnG and you're saying the only hands that call have you beat?? Raising w/ AQo is incredibly standard, and worse hands call you.. this isn't a hand you particuarly want to see a multiway flop with either so limping isn't so hot. -- the Raise PF is fine.. on the flop i bet out like 200 and see what happens, not so sure about folding right away to a raise like others have suggested. |

[ QUOTE ] fold prelop [/ QUOTE ] folding preflop is incredibly tight. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. [ QUOTE ] preflop standard [/ QUOTE ] And raising 4xBB at this blind level UTG with AQo is incredibly laggish. Limp is the play. |

I limp here once in a while, but usually raise. I only make it 3xBB, though.

Re: ($11) level 2 AQ utg
i can't see me folding AQ here, but maybe my preflop raise was too big. basically the best i could wished for happend, and i got heads-up with MP3, but i doubt that will happen too often in early stage $11 sng's. maybe i start to vary between limping and betting up to 3xBB.
on the flop i really f**ked the hand up and went all-in and all-out against a Q9. but well, i am still a sng noob. next time i know better. thanks. |
