NL10 - AQs preflop

HotdogPoker · #1 11-02-2007, 12:04 AM

OK I know preflop should be one of the easier streets to play but I got a bit confused here. CO doesn't play a ton of hands by NL10 standards, but raises light fairly often. BB is new to the table.

Readless, a 4-bet from the BB is pretty strong but is a call if CO folds. He doesn't. Now what? CO has another $2.90 left behind and I hadn't envisioned playing AQs for stacks (albeit half stacks) preflop multiway. Push? Fold?

Next important question: the first part had no reads because BB was new. Does the answer change if I know BB is a maniac and will reraise very light also? Having CO in this hand, especially this kind of CO, is making things confusing for me.

SB ($4.95)
BB ($3.80)
UTG ($10.10)
MP ($10.65)
CO ($6.70)
Hero ($18.65)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO raises to $0.5, Hero raises to $1.75, 1 fold, BB raises to $3.8, CO calls $3.30, Hero ???.

Push, getting $10.50:$5 if CO calls, even better if he folds. You should easily have 32% equity here.

Edit: Actually, not quite as good as I thought. If you stove it and give them both reasonable ranges (IMO) you're just short of 30% equity
