Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#777777">3 folds</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BTN raises to $1.7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, <font color="#777777">1 fold</font>, BTN calls $4.3
Preflop was pretty standard compared to his nearly ATC-range. Raise size was to make committing easier should I hit TP or miss on a rag board.

The raise from the SB is pretty spew. Just call and see a flop. You say the raise was made to give you an easier decision on the flop. You missed and your still committing your self and going back on your play.

Not 3betting preflop is probably the worst thing you can do!
I'll give you the reasons why:
1. We got a button raiser, therefore he got an even wider range to open. We got AQs in the SB, that's an insta-3bet.
2. Villain is pretty loose, he raises 27% of his hands, therefore AQs is way ahead of his range.
3. With a 3bet you get control over the pot, small PPs cant take the pot away from you.


Stop being such a nit! I 3bet AQs from the SB all day long in probably every BTN vs. Blinds battle.
