Default $60 - L2 AQs - it is too late to fold preflop

preflop raiser is Rider1234, memmber of team ho chi minh. he is a winning player. these guys don't exactly play 2+2 style and imo are pretty tricky. his full table stats are 15/9, so he is a bit looser than the typcial 8+ tabling nit. i have no specific notes on him.

Yeah, I agree with the others that you should bet the turn. You have a monster hand...gotta get some value out of it. Other streets look good as played.

Fold preflop IMO. As played, I can't believe nobody is suggesting to raise the flop. If you're gonna call w/ AQ preflop against a raise, you might as well raise when you hit your best flop.

I'm really not crazy about raising the flop...are we trying to get it AI with top pair against a reg who raised from EP and c-bet the flop? Not to mention the caller who could be trapping with like 4's or QJ.

This makes no sense. You are basically saying lets compound are one mistake by making another mistake. I don't think checking the turn here is that bad since if you get stack a donked you are usually behind, but still need to call. As played flop and river are fine.

If you're gonna call preflop you have to be able to play TPTK very gingerly. Although I'm betting this turn. TPTK+NFD = too much equity.
