Default 22: AQ in trouble

[ QUOTE ]
No reads, what is your standard line here against an unknnown?
My own thoughts:

Preflop:
I think you can make a case for both folding and reraising, but against an unknown I think the only thing a reraise accmomplish is folding out worse hands and comitting chips against the hands that have us dominated.

Flop:
Think I might have butchered it up on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
But the dry texture and the cbet just made my spider-sense tingle, is C-F really the best line here? What about C-C, C-R or just leading out?

pre-flop fold would also not be horrible, you still have 20+ bb

preflop I probably would have called too, on the flop I would have checked and fold, and hate it.

it's ok

I would definitely call PF but just make sure to be careful after the flop. Now post flop I don't think a bet of 200 would be bad with your stack size. This way you know where you stand your hoping he has a medium pocket pair and will just fold. You only have to win this pot 1 out of 3 times to come out ahead. Just depends how your table has been playing overall.

Against an unknown who is probably playing tight I would just fold. You're not going to show much of a profit with this OOP anyway and if he's tight it's a definite loser.
