I always seem to struggle with playing AQ OOP from the blinds against a PFR from early or middle position. My default move is to 3-bet and if called, continue on the flop but it just seems wildly unprofitable. Should I just shutdown UI when called? Assume 100BB effective stacks and interested in responses when facing an unknown or a taggy reg at 25NL.

<font color="orange"> I talked about this above if you want to check it out, in regards to AK. you can definitely c/f UI if you want, you dont have to c-bet every time you rr pf. it depends alot on the board and who called your rr. if he's the type to peel with any sort of pair then i would typically give up. </font>

<font color="green">As Orange says, you don't have to auto-cb every flop and that's pretty much the key. Much of the profit comes from them folding preflop to your 3B and from you hitting the flop. The CB part on missed flops is where the danger lies and money gets thrown down the toilet if you are CB'ing way too much.

And, don't be afraid to just call occasionally too in the blinds with AK/AQ and play the hand straightforward postflop. </font>
