Default Re: A-Q OOP !

reraise preflop.

because:

we are OOP
we have a top hand (I'd 3bet AQs but not AQo mostly)
we are happy (very happy) to win this preflop.

once we 3bet and flop TPTK just push the flop - or c/r all-in if you think villan bets the flop.

the idea is that we want to generate a good pot:stacksize ratio for the remainder of the hand. Yes someimes he has QQ+ here and we get coolered - but it makes it way easier to stack a moran with KQ here if the pots BIG on the flop.

as played your flop raise is too small. You want to bump this to ~$6.50.

Do you have any reads on this villain - his flop rereraise is shouting that he has TPTK beat.

and he is short so I guess you have to call

villain has more than a 100bb stack at the start of the hand - hardly short.

This is a villain specific call I think - vs a TAG or a tight player or a call station I dump this to the flop reraise - vs a lag or a standard donk I go broke with tptk here.
