NL25-AQs line check

[machine]

I love these hands but was i too aggressive? with the overlay right to push? Anyone re-raise pre-flop here, i just feel im re-raising so often lately but then i guess the down points which come due to harder decisions will be made up by my big hands being paid off.

Villan was raising 9% of hands

Looks fine on a FR table.

As pointed out in another thread, you push these draws to maximize fold equity. The problem is that I don't think you have any fold equity here. Villian either has an overpair or a set, so is likely calling your push.

That being said:

Still looks +EV here.

hmm...this is an interesting one.

You're out of position, so I like the call PF.

You are a 2:1 dog against AA (although we have no reason to put him on AA), you are near 1:1 against KK and QQ, and are slight favorite against JJ, TT.

I guess I don't see the value in donking, I think I'd rather see a c/r. If he does have an overpair, which is likely, let's make him see you demonstrate strength with a c/r, rather than enabling him to make a raise for value. If you want to really put the pressure, you can get it all-in with a c/r all-in. Give him really poor odds to call.

Since he's short-stacked, he's really only calling $10.50 against a $24.50 pot. You are giving him 2.3 to 1 odds on a hand where he's like either at 2:1 favorite or a 1:1.

If you c/r, the odds are a bit different. On the turn, the pot will be $3, he will likely bet $3, you now raise to $18.50, putting him all-in. In this scenario, he's now calling $15.50 to win $21.50 or around 1.38 to 1 odds.

Just my thoughts.
