Default 5/10 too weak with aces??

Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $10.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

UTG ($1125.50)
MP ($1910.00)
CO ($285.00)
Hero ($1841.50)
SB ($1456.00)
BB ($1732.00)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $35</font>, SB calls $30, BB calls $25.

Flop: ($105) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $85</font>, SB calls $85, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $240</font>, Hero folds


Villain plays 46/32/1.86 but isnt as bad or crazy as those stats may suggest. SB is 36/20. I also just stacked villain twice in quick succession in 3 bet pots but he hasnt as of yet shown signs of tilting/spewing. I fold because stacks area semi deep making this much more awkawrd, I have the Ad, theres a caller in between &amp; I dont expect him to raise a 1 pair hand here really

Well fwiw I think its fine, dont play this high though. Stats suggests he is passive right? So i really doubt him getting agressive here(3-way, low FE etc) without atleast a really premium draw, and with every a high FD gone it really looks like a c/r for value. Im probably just stating the obvious though

I don't like it.
C'mon you've got also the Ad, call the reraise and play poker in position on later streets.
Do you think he's got a set 100% of the time? He might have combodraws often enough to call his raise.

EDIT: noticed now the low AF. So folding isn't so bad, I think I'm still caling this though.

I call his raise, especially since your pf raise is on the button. If he expects you to CB a lot when checked to with a very wide range, he could easily play a Queen or a draw like this, sometimes even air.

I realize you will often have some difficult decisions on the turn+river this deep, but solving that by folding here is not +EV in my opinion.

I don't like a fold here. If it was HU I would call, but with the caller in between I think 3-betting might be better. SB has Qx at best, and often has some draw since you are kinda deep and most would raise a big hand. So you want SB in there, but don't want to give him good odds. There are only 3 hands that beat us, and a wide range of air and draws that we beat. So I would make it 650 and call a shove.

With SB coldcalling and BB Raising here (which is the worst spot to bluff ever), I would say this is a great fold. And even if by some miracle of the Lord you're not ahead on the flop, you're going to have to dodge a million outs. NH.
