Default Re: 1/2 AQ in blind defence

1#: no reads but still, if we are generous and put them both on TT+,AK the winning chances of AQo are 18% and the pot offers 13 SB for 2 which is barly enough...

Even if they are looser than assumed you still have no strategy advantages post flop, you'll be stuck between 2 agressive players...

You'll also be out of position and even though this is 6max (which implies looser more agressive villains) I think at least one of them has JJ+, AK (probably both of them).

#2: an UTG raise is usually a strong hand and you will be out of position postflop, so just call here...

the flop is ugly, you have no hand and not much perspective to improve even if the pot is that huge i still fold in that situation...

[/ QUOTE ]

This hand is also 6max so the UTG raise is not as much a sign of strength unless you have a read that this guy is uber-tight in UTG 6max.

I still don't like the 3bet because we are out of position. If I have position I will 3bet down to AJo in 6max. But without it I run a pretty standard 3bet range (TT+, AQs, AK)

So I would just call preflop and check/fold the flop.

As played this pot is huge (which is partially our doing) and UTG may be stacking off. But we don't have much of a hand and button seems intent on staying. I want to let it go on the flop but we have some reasonable BD draws. I deffinately let it go on the turn, though I think letting go on the flop is good.
