I wouldn't c-bet here against 2 villains. As played, I think you must call river with these odds. If he's a fish, this'll be a bluff often enough.

I like the raise pre-flop, but I would raise more - to $3 at least.

River is a must call since you can be wrong more than 19/20 times and still be making money, everything else is completely correct IMO.

As already said before: you have to call the river because of the odds youre getting on your call!!
If you win 1 in 24,6 times youll break even and thiss will always be the case

Re: 25NL - AQo in BB
 

He probably has an underpair, and yeah, you call. Bluffing the river would be dumb.

The OOP preflop 3-bet with AQ is a matter of heated controversy at the moment.

Easy call.

You'll save money in the long run, not c-betting w/air in multiway pots.

How about a very small raise here - he'll fold his low pocket pairs and pairs of 2's or 3's to it (as he is a huge fish) - like to $5 - anyone like that?

If you really wanted to push him out, I think you'd have to get into the $10 - $12 neighborhood, but after your turn check, I think he's pretty set on looking you up on this one. Bluff would likely just be spew at this point.

Realistically, what are you repping at this point? If you had AK you would have bet the turn.

Re: 25NL - AQo in BB
 

If I do c-bet the flop and he calls and then checks, I'm betting the turn on that board as well -- it is very possible that he called with a medium pair on that flop -- and a bet on the turn is likely to get rid of him. And you have 10 outs if he calls, as I would figure that an A and Q are prob good and a 10 definitely is.

As played, you have to call the river, if nothing else than for information. It's most likely a small pair or King-low.
