What call on the flop?

The one suggested by RexWoo.

I don't think a call is that bad but I probably wouldn't. Raise looks good, you got a flush draw flop in a multi-way pot.

but re:Jago, I wouldn't really want to get it all-in here without a read. Especially with stacks deep enough that he's 3-betting you not all-in. If he's not horrible, I'm not going with this.

But as Rex said, based on just this hand alone he does look pretty bad... but I'd still need a little more than that.

I usually play uber tight this early and would probably fold this because of the donk minraise. The chances of button, blinds and UTG coming along are just too high and AQo sucks in a family pot.

If villian had raised more (3-4 BB), I would call.

I don't like a reraise PF since it is early and I know I'm gonna see much better opportunities to get involved in a big pot.

As played, I call flop bet. Again, I don't want to build a big pot early with anything less than a set.

The stupid min raise preflop always screams PP to me.

Arent we better raising the flop as played to find out where we are?

If hes got a pair and missed it, his probe bet on the flop will be the end of his interest in the hand with the ace on the flop, and we wont make any further profit.

If he's hit his set isnt it it best to raise and find out now, which will be cheaper than calling him down (unless we're considering folding to a sensible sized turn bet)?

Shoving / calling down is only going to pay off when he has a weaker ace isnt it? (which seems unikely unless hes really bad)

eh...id probably just get it in readless, if you only have this SNG to go on and no big pots have been played/cards have been shown down, im not ready to fold AQ here.
