Re: AQo, first hand of $50 nlhe
Gotta raise more on the flop. With your small check raise, he is getting ~3.5-1, and therefore a good price for any draw.
After this pretty bad turn card, I'm check calling down I think. Maybe I'm weak tight in this sort of spot. Being out of position really sucks. I actually had a very similar hand in the deep stacks tournament. MP raised, I called from the BB with AQ and check raised on a QTx board, which he called. Turn was a king, and I pushed for ~2/3rds of the pot, he called with ATs. With deeper stacks though, and because its a flush card on the turn, I'd slow down in your hand, and play this very carefully. |

Re: AQo, first hand of $50 nlhe
raising to 370 would be pot sized.

I would bet t100 on the flop. Don't give UTG odds to call a heart draw.
With a flush draw on the turn, I would check, if UTG checks behing, I bet out the river unless it's a K, then I might consider check-calling |

Re: AQo, first hand of $50 nlhe
what's the general plan if he raises the flop bet? just calling down turn and river blanks?
