simple pf question

[ninja please]

party 2/4 table, you're dealt AQo in LMP. there is a raise and a 3 bet before you, both unknown players. fold, call, raise?

i folded, but was unsure if this was the right move.

[eugeneel]

fold is correct here as it is with hands like KQ, and 66-99. If you knew the players and they are the kind to raise with junk hands, then you should raise.

A call here is never correct

A fold is usually correct against one raise, against two it isn't close.

thanks for the response. that's pretty much what i was thinking, but since i would have won the hand when the flop came Q high i needed some help shaking those results-based second thoughts.

a player who cold called all 3 bets with Q8 won the huge pot. good ol' party.

More importantly, what did the raiser and the re-raiser hold, if they went to showdown?

I think it's safe to say that generally, barring a specific read on the re-raiser, with a raise and a re-raise, it's too likely that someone has AK, AA, KK, or QQ to stick around. Even if you hit your hand, you may still be behind.

There's nothing worse than drawing thin (or dead) and getting there. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I fold this without a second though unless
A) The raiser and reraiser consistently raise light
or
B) I know I can take the pot if the flop misses everyone.

Easy fold.

Fold it for 2-bets from the right opponent.

I would defeinitely considering calling here. The raises could easily be AJ or KQ - even worse. A raise won't eliminate any more players, which is the goal with AQ.

If there was just one raise, I would defeinitely re-raise. So the fact that another player did it for you does not make it a fold IMO.

I just checked Lee Jones book - he says raise a raiser with AQo in MP - doesn't really get into whether the raise was was a re-raise.
