Default AQs \"Squeeze\" 100NL

UTG is 25/17/2, SB is like 30/10/1 - overall the table is pretty tight and there's lots of squeezing/raising/preflop aggression, but post-flop pretty passive. what should I be doing here?

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $105.05
CO: $177.85
Button: $93.50
SB: $34.35
Hero: $97.55

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $4</font>, 2 folds, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $14</font>, UTG calls, SB folds.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($32, 2 players)

Hero ???

Bet around 30 on flop, call shove.

You have 2 options, bet/call or check/raise all-in.

b/c gives you more FE vs AK.

Check/raising is definitely better vs. TT/JJ because then we want to get the money in anyways and we don't have much FE vs those hands. A check might also induce a bluff.

The problem however is that he might fear that we are trapping with AA/KK/QQ and check behind with TT/JJ. If that happens, and we don't hit on the turn we're suddenly stuck in a much worse spot. Our equity has plummeted and we're oop.

So the question becomes how likely it is that this guy will bet TT/JJ or try to bluff us out with missed overs. I don't think its likely enough to risk a check/behind.

Therefore, b/c is standard. There are only 3 hands we're really afraid off: AA, QQ and 99 (I don't think 77 or 55 is likely in his range). Vs anything else we're a favorite or a slight dog (45-55 vs AK/KK).

I think $25 is just fine. 30 is an over-bet and smells fishy because the pot is 3-bet pf and big hands won't bet as much on the flop cause there's no need to build it up.

b/call is standard operating procedure.

c/r sucks because a lot of time the opponent will check behind and your hand loses a lot of value with only one card to come.

Yeah I don't like a C/R much either. I just lead for 28-30 and call a shove and hit a flush OBV

-ninja edit yeah make it 15.5 - 16

raise slightly more PF. like to $16 minimum.
bet around $25. always potting the flop in RRd pots is a big leak IMO.
