Preflop action with AQ against aggro, thoughts?

[Vammakala]

Villain is 30/20/4 who has reraised me a few times, this far I've played a long and folded most of the time as I've had less desirable holdings.

UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero raises to $20.00</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">Villain (SB) raises to $77.00</font>, 2 folds, Hero ???

His reraises have always been more towards 4x than 3x so I don't think this breaks the pattern of being too much, but I haven't seen him show down anything yet in RRed pots.

Also, notice that there was an OOT poster in the hand, I think that somewhat factors into the decision.

this is such a common spot I hate that keeps coming up at MSNL. Im a nit so I have had real difficulty. I think it is important to know whether your opponent is a gambler of a thinking player. If they are a thinking player they will most likely fold 50% of the hands they have here to a 4-bet. Many decent players hate playing for stacks with hands 22-TT, AQ and below. If they are the type to get it all in with hands like KJ and K10, then its tougher as you will be called much more often. Ofcourse this means your hand may have more value against villains holdings when he does push.

In anycase, I guess it would be not wrong to push a 4-bet at villain in both situations. I think though that this takes a lot of heart to be able to do consistently. I am a nit so I cant. which is porbably why I suck against reg type players.

folding is fine.

If he has been 3 betting a lot then its perfectly fine to call and stack an A or Q high flop. This really depends on how aggro he has been playing recently, and is pretty impossible to answer without being at the table.
