Fold. You beat nothing here. We could even argue whether you could've already folded on the flop...

I disagree. 10%PFR villain raised from the CO? He has any ace any king. Hero has not defined his hand at all. Calling from the small blind is a mistake. If you 3bet this preflop and then lead with the ace on the flop, it is a completely different hand.

I completey agree to that Mike Kelley! But I was referring to the hand as it was played, and as played, I don't see calling the turn bet and maybe even another big bet on the river.
But you're completely right that this hand should've been played differently, much more aggressive...

I do see a lot more 3-betting PF at 400NL FR than 200NL FR. Therefore I know the 3-betting ranges much be wider. A good argument can be made for 3-betting here vs some opponents.

Generally, I'm usually not too keen to build a big pot PF OOP with AQo.

The only thing that beats us right now is AK and or a lucky Ax Kx combination that hit two pair, possibly a set I guess. I think the play is call.


donk the river or check/call whichever.

Re: 400NL: AQ OOP on A high board vs aggression
 

AK, AA, KK, 77 beat us here, AQ for a tie, maybe even AQc with a nut flush draw. Villain is 13/10, I don't think he is firing a third barrel with hands like TT - QQ. Only hand we beat is AJ. I would not like to play for stacks here and that is what might very well happen with another PSB on the river...

3 bet pre.

Turn is close but I'd fold vs most people.

I like the smooth call in the SB vs a blind stealer. I personally like a check raise on the flop and a nice lead on the turn. You gotta take the lead at some point IMO. If he calls on the turn re-evaluate.

You probably have him beat.

He puts you on a flush draw I think and trying to get you to fold.

This is a good line. Resistance to this definitely tells us where we're at.
