Default Re: Overcards in a raised pot

very easy fold on the flop. 3bet preflop depends on the utg raising range i guess.

I have to disagree there. With two overcards, the gut shot, and the backdoor flush draw, you have about 6 to 7 adjusted outs. To call two small bets here you need an expected final pot size of only about 7 big bets (not counting your current bet and your future action). I think it will be there easy. There are 5.5 BBs in there right now. You should see the turn and fold without improvement.

I disagree with the poster who suggested a 3 bet preflop. This would be the correct play with only the raiser in the pot, but not with a raiser and a caller. AQ should only raise when the pot can be limited to a very small number of players (Sklansky).
