AQo - I'm a newb.

With a PFR of 5, I have no trouble laying this down to an UTG raise. Assuming he is positionally aware, you have to put him on a fairly narrow hand range, none of which leaves you in particularly good shape. Call me weak tight but I lay this one down pretty quickly. A lot of times against his range here you will hit the flop and lose. There a better spots, I think.

(I think he's ahead here more than I am).

I am not sure how many hands a billion is. But if as you say you more likely to be behind, I would just fold. If I did play it, I would probably reraise it. But with a PFR of 5 I think you are correct that you are most likely behind and should just fold.

Use this as a guide.

We're almost even money by the river, and the dead blind money in the pot should get us there. This is, of course, assuming worst case scenario that his 5% PFR is a TAG's 5% and NOT an LPP's 5%.

When a 50 VPIP raises a small amount of hands preflop, he doesn't choose the top hands that pokerstove offers. This is a very important concept. Some of his PFR's are simply because he feels like doing so.

Anything less than a 3-bet here is just bad poker.

I think this is SO true. A 50/5/1-player is simply a BAD loose player. I am continually amazed at the junk some of these lousy players choose to raise with. Against a good very tight player I might consider folding but here in the best possible position with AQ vs a fish never.

Well yeah, it's usually even money on the river when there's a straight on the board.

This is something that I have also noticed that isn't talked about much. When I see players with 50/5 stats raising I get scared because they don't raise very often, but the hands they do decide to raise with can be very questionable. I tend to see more JTs, Axs, than AA, KK, AKs. What do you think the resoning is for this?

probably because they've been waiting for hours to get their AA / KK hands and would hate to have everyone fold to their raise. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I have a beginner question about playing well from the SB. With AQo in the SB I usually value raise with any number of limpers, 3-bet raises from MP or later and open raise when checked to--assuming no reads. Sound okay? Should I ever cap?

Useful LAG insight. Last night I was playing to the left of a 65/5/2 guy who froze me up whenever he raised PF. Sometimes he showed me the AA I was worried about and sometimes KTs. Weird.

I'm going to assume he isn't, since his stats are 50/5. Position is harder to understand than what cards are playable, and this guy doesn't even understand that.
