Re: AQ vs. limp, re-raise, take a look
I'd fold preflop after he raises. I don't care what the pot odds are. AQ really doesn't look so good anymore.
You flopped an Ace and still couldn't play, so there's really no point in just calling his raise. I guess I'd fold on the river. I really have no clue (which is why you should've folded).

Re: AQ vs. limp, re-raise, take a look
Actually, at an $11, hero calls and his AQ loses to A3...
I'm really not that good at this game, but I don't like all this checking. After the flop I guess it's okay to check behind his check, he could have been trying for a check-raise, which would put you in an awkward position, where you probably have the better hand, but you'd be inclined to lay it down. But after the turn, when he checks again - I would have to bet there. Most of these people don't have the patience to check twice with a good hand and all that money sitting out there in the middle. Also there's 2 clubs out now. I'd have to put in a bet there, maybe just 200-300. I could be completely wrong, I often am. So what did he have? 33? 99?

At an $11? Hero calls and his AQ beats AJ. [/ QUOTE ] Sounds reasonable. If this is the read, he should've pushed on the flop.

Re: AQ vs. limp, re-raise, take a look
Why didn't you bet after the flop? Let him keep drawing until he beats you. I wouldn't have been surprised if he turned over A3. Too many people play anything with an ace, great hand to bust them. You got lucky.

I have to relearn my fundamentals every once in a while.

[/ QUOTE ] The problem is that you only have 660 left and pot is 675. Maybe you could bet 200 and fold to a push, but that seems terrible. You put so much money in preflop that you no longer have the luxury of betting for information. If I called preflop, I definately push on the flop. I'll find out where am I at if and when he flips his cards over.
