The pesky AQ
I am always at loss with AQ in these kind of situations. AQ always seems to end up as the second best hand. I tend to min-raise on A high flops, and any comment on how else to play would be nice. My opponent is fishy with 34/15/0.86, but he is not doing any thing incredibly dumb.

Re: The pesky AQ
I think you should raise a normal amount everything else seems fine.

Re: The pesky AQ

Re: The pesky AQ
Looks fine. I don't particularly like minraise, but maybe it works for you.
I'm rarely calling here pre with 7 left to act. The hand plays a lot better when you end up in pos. |

Raise more on flop. rest is fine. [/ QUOTE ] are all of you ppl saying this just because it's stuck in your heads that minraising is inherently bad, or do you actually have some reasons for why you'd want to just bomb the pot with a marginal hand on a mostly drawless board? |
