What could villains range be here. Does a worse ace or a ten show up here very often? Not sure how to proceed.

Tough, but I think I'm willing to go the distance on this one and push now. His flop raise is small too...maybe to keep you in, or maybe to make this a cheaper attempt at stealing the pot. His range isn't well enough defined for me to assume I'm behind most of the time.

Re: NL50: AQo in sb 3-handed
 

Pretty rough spor. I probably shove though.


I think checking the flop here really has merits.

Re: NL50: AQo in sb 3-handed
 

you aren't folding here. i would either shove now or call and c/bomb turn.

if you check the flop its to trap, not to fold.

Re: NL50: AQo in sb 3-handed
 

I'm not folding this flop and I'm going all in.
I would also CR all in sometimes there

Re: NL50: AQo in sb 3-handed
 

I called and c/r ai on the turn. Villian showed AK, but I think I'm usually ahead here right.

Re: NL50: AQo in sb 3-handed
 

I'd push flop.

He could have AJ...maybe even low suited aces, as well as some flush draws, can also think you're bluffing and call his midpair like JJ etc etc...yes you're ahead enough here.
