I re-raise preflop, bet/fold the turn and fold the river. The Queen makes little difference on the river IMO.

Do you have pt or any other stat tracking device you have posted quite a few hh's today and none have included any kinda read or info on villian. Just the the fact of if I am 3 betting this pre flop or smooth calling or even folding depends on my opponent.

LOL. You don't need PT, just pay attention to the table, unless you are multi-tabling, then you really need PT.

AQo is a tricky hand to play preflop. In this scenario I fold pre to some players, coldcall some, and reraise some. You need to get reads on players' raising ranges in early position, its very important. If someone is raising say a 5% range in early position, i'll fold AQ. If they are raising like 12+%, im reraising. In between i make a judgement call which sometimes leads to me coldcalling.

As played its ok. Kinda a tough hand, the flop is really close between raising and calling. I think as played a raise to like 17 would have been sufficient.

River call getting 3:1 is standard.

I think this type of board requires the raise to be near pot, I think his raise amount is towards the low end of what it should be

I'd agree with you if i wasn't concerned with valuebetting worse hands along with his draws. The trouble with sticking in a huge raise is that it doesn't get value from anything other than draws, and it puts us in crappy spots when the draws don't come in but the pot is huge.

I have a lot of trouble playing in these spots, so maybe you could help me understand.

i hate cold calling AQ gets you in to many tough spots i like a pump or dump approach. Unless of course im in a late position where im pretty sure ill have position throughout the hand.

I do have PT, but I didn't go back through PT to figure out the guys stats. I'll try to do that in future hands I post.
