stupid preflop spot

[terp]

it's 3/6 but i'm sure you all are perfectly capable of providing good feedback.

about two orbits in, i've been quiet so far except a few raises that took it down pre or on the flop. CO is 37/6 over a few hundred hands that poker ace prefetched from the table, so he's been sitting for a while. he's been limping a lot without much regard to position/limpers up front/aggressive players left to act, so i assume he's just playing his own cards. no reads on his postflop play, yet.

i have $635, he covers.

he openlimps CO, i raise A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] to $27, blinds fold, he makes it $90.

wtf? how much different is this when holding TT-QQ or AK? i really could not remember the last time this happened to me...
