AQ in HUGE pot - any way to win this pot?

Because if you aren't going to fold, you want to knock out players.

I would 3-bet preflop. There's tons of money out there for the taking; it'd be really nice to get this headsup with a lot of dead money in the pot.

Also, your opponent should have bet the river.

My reasoning also... Since the raise is from the button, 3-bet with AQ is ok pre-flop. On the flop I like the CR to knock people out. Ditto on the turn. Check/call on river seems standard. Overall, I like it.

I think you played it well. I generally dont like to three bet from bb w aq since youre out of position. But i guess a case could be made to three bet to push out other opponents.

The flop is good since the pot is big and you want to maximize your chance of winning it.

Turn is good, i would put mp3 on overpair on fl.

I fold the flop you have dirty overcards and no draw.

Your getting 13.5 to 1 on flop. How are the overcards dirty ? Your ace put a possible 2 5 str8 on table which i dont see as very likley. Your q should be good in any case. Ak might kill your aq but button could be on a variety of hands.

that is a great hand to analyze indeed, 3 betting with the dead money sounds very good and i probably will use this situation in the future. What did everyone think of check raising with overcards?

you have to raise pre flop to punish all the weak hands going in on the flop. i already posted this link but ill do it again since nobody will read it because it was in response to a reply in the middle of the thread. link
