TPTK (AQ) -- anyone call here?

[VarlosZ]

PokerStars $1/$2 NLHE, 8-handed. I've got about $200, the blinds have me covered.

I've got A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button. UTG+1 calls, it folds to me, I raise to $9. SB calls, BB raises to $20, UTG+1 folds, I call, SB calls.

Flop (pot = $58 & change after the rake): Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks, BB bets $64. I feel very strongly that this is AA or KK, but why am I even in this hand if I'm not going to play on this flop? Calling (for a third of my stack) and then folding the turn if he fires again can't be right, and if I go all-in I'll only (and always) be called if I'm beat. That leaves calling the flop and turn and hoping he's bluffing, or simply folding.

I mucked. Should I not have done so? Is anyone strongly opposed to my preflop raise? Does anyone fold to the small preflop reraise? Thanks.

most of the time I fold to the preflop reraise. But being that you didn't, you flopped the best hand you could hope for.

Bet that flop. the check gets you no where.

Fold to the reraise preflop. All you have is a draw to a pair and it's likely that at least half of those "outs" give you a second best hand.
