Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
"Read is tight aggressive."
"At what point do I lay this hand down...or do I?" Preflop. |

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
Calling pf is the worst option. I'd lean towards folding here against a TAG opponent, 3-betting would be a distant second, and calling a very distant 3rd.
Other than that it was played well. Good flop check/raise and after getting it heads-up I'm check/calling down as well. |

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
Barring the results, I think you played the odds ok post-flop.
But it's a great illustration of why you can happily lay down AQ pre-flop against a player with high raising standards. It's disheartening to call 2 cold with a hand that is at best slightly behind to JJ or at worst horribly dominated by AA, KK, QQ, AK. |

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
brichr:
I agree with most...fold preflop if you are unwilling to 3-bet. Deciding whether to fold or 3-bet, imo, is a function of how bad the UTG limper is (and whether MP2 knows this) and what range of hands would he raise here. If MP2 is aggressive preflop, than 3-betting is not bad at all. If I were in MP2--3 OTB-- and a super loose limps, and I have tighties to my left, I would raise a wide range of hands here. (KJo, 88, ATo, KTs, etc.) But the majority of the time, I muck. Post flop is played well. Folding at any point post flop is bad, imho. [ QUOTE ] Should I have represented a flush? [/ QUOTE ] No, MP2 likes his hand, you are not pushing him off of his big Ace here. --Rico |

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
Buy John Feeney's Inside the Poker Mind and read the chapter entitled Do you pass the Ace-Queen test?
People here could just tell you to fold AQo out of position pre-flop to a raise from a TAG but the book is excellent and I think you should read it anyway, even if you're playing micros, just because the concepts discussed are so good. |

[/ QUOTE ] This is not solely directed to you Al, but to everyone who is saying "TAG raises, fold AQ." While I agree that I would probably fold here most of the time, I do not think 3-betting here is all that bad against a TAG raise. This is not an EP raise...MP2 is raising one limper 2 off of the button. Most TAGs (at least most 2+2 type TAGs) are raising a wide range of hands here. I understand that your position sucks, and that makes me lean toward a fold, especially if I did not know my opponent well. If MP2 were Clarkmeister, wouldn't you be giving up quite a bit by folding to his raise here? Am I all alone in thinking that a 3-bet is not a distant 2nd choice in the situation described? --Rico |

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
"A distant 2nd" was probably not the best choice of words in my post Rico. I agree that 3-betting is not that far behind a fold. My biggest issue was the cold-call though from anywhere but the BB.

Re: AQo against a tight aggressive
I fold this preflop, but then again I try to ditch AQo in a heartbeat for reasons as simple as the sun is shining.
To me the 3 bet on the flop means AK. And I give serious consideration to folding there. |
