AQo cold call PF. Am I a fish?

[TommyChong]

Against an opponent w/ a lower PFR I would just lay this down but this guy was 20/12/1.8 after 500 hands. CO and Button were both fish so I thought I had the equity to call. Not too sure about this though, I don't like coldcalling.

If you thought you had equity, you should raise. But you're out of position. I don't mind the call (calling a raise out of the blinds is not CCing) because it closes the action and eliminates the posibility for a pre-flop cap. You did have overcards on the flop and I would have considered a call if he was looser. The flop fold is fine.

[Hume]

Does villain adjust his raising hands based on position? His high pfr could come from a lot of stealing/isolating. If he doesn't adjust I think you can coldcall. I don't like your flop fold though. If you think villain has a hand that you can't call this flop profitably against (QQ+ AK) you shouldn't call preflop. If you think villains range is wider, e.g. it includes hands like AJ, KQ, 88/99+ you should peel the flop getting 12:1.

[Big Folder]

why not peel one off right here? You're getting 12-to-1 here with two overcards and a backdoor straight(thought you need two perfect cards). 12% pfr probably means hes raising ajo-ak, a10s-aks, 88-aa, kjo-kqo. You're only way behind to a-10, ak, aa, kk, qq, tt on the flop, which is a very safe flop btw. And most of those hands you have enough outs to call. I'd see the turn and fold unimproved.

[shant]

I think you played this perfectly.

Is it wrong that I would call this flop 90% of the time with AQo? It's a pretty weak draw, but closing the action is swell.

Against a raiser with tight PFR standards I would not call this. The chance that you are dominated is too great, especially from somebody raising in EP who has a clue. Against somebody with looser standards you can call depending on the situation.

[OziBattler]

yeah I dont think I can fold AQ despite domination when he has a PRF of 12. reraising OOP is a bit of a tougher one...

I think u can call one one the flop and fold turn UI

anyways Ive gotten myself in trouble before by calling flops here, getting a card that makes me a second best hand and then losing lots of BB. eg a Queen on the turn when he has kings would really suck.

seems to me like villian has an overpair.

*grunch*

i think coldcalling with AQo is standard preflop
i would have folded on flop too

I just love that smiley [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Seriously though, this is very, very far from the truth.
