Getting more into NL cash, AQ TPTK

[beachbum]

UTG had been playing fairly well, seemingly solid TAG. BB had been playing decently but showed down a few marginal hands. Seemed to be pretty straightforward postflop though.

Preflop: Is this a bad cold-call of the PFR in the first place?

Flop: Based on my reads, standard right?

Instafold. He doens't have KQ or worse here.

BTW I would raise or fold PF (usually raising)

underbet, 3 bet is pretty much never a bluff.

Amoeba,
By "underbet" you're saying made a smaller flop raise? Mine was about a 70% pot raise.

I did fold to the 3 bet though as his preflop hand range was very broad the way he was playing, and I'm hoping for AQ to split at best.

No he is saying that villian's underbet/3bet is never a bluff.

He means that villain underbet the pot ($5 into a $15 pot) to get a raise so he could 3-bet. Villain probably has KK or AA most of the time.

as played fold, you are way behind.
preflop i would fold or raise, calling being the worst option,
Solid tag raises UTG im mucking AQ, if he opened from a later position id be more inclined to 3 bet,

reraise preflop.

as played, call flop.

I fold this preflop. A solid UTG TAG's range is going to give AQ a lot of trouble even when you have position.

I agree that underbet/3bet on the flop is almost always way ahead of TPTK.
