Default AQo in 4 way capped pot

15/30 Live

Villain is a decent TAG. I've seen her raise 77 UTG before, although her capping range is obviously much tighter.

Villain opens UTG+1, I 3bet AQo in MP, weak tight to my left cold calls, bad SB calls, villain caps, we all call.

Flop: QJTr

SB checks, Villain bets, Hero ??

What's our plan for the hand?

Indeed, and against early position tougher opponents I frequently do make this fold. In this case I figured that considering her wide range up front my hand was probably good for a 3bet. I do agree that it's close though.

Id fold pf too. I honestly dont even want to show this hand down. Id probably call to the river because I have outs then call on the river because I convince myself that I might chop. Gross spot for sure, but it could be avoided.

why not fold pf? You don't beat much of her range and lots of people to act behind you.

Hand 0: 51.515% 46.00% 05.52% 888422520 106588146.00 { 77+, ATs+, KJs+, AJo+, KQo }
Hand 1: 48.485% 42.97% 05.52% 829880100 106588146.00 { AQo }



Of course the problem is....

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 60.252% 52.68% 07.57% 681910872 98057334.00 { 88+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ }
Hand 1: 39.748% 32.17% 07.57% 416476284 98057334.00 { AQo }

The benefits of getting HU with position vs. a player with a slightly better hand than you are outweighed by the cost of the chances that one of the 5 players yet to have looked at their hand have better than you.

the plan for the rest of the hand seems obvious to me. Fold. What in her range are you beating on a QJT board? The chances that you are ahead are next to nil, yes? So we are gutterballing to a str8 that may be a chop or spiking a queen for a POSSIBLE winner. Whatever. Next hand.

Also, saying that she'll raise as low as 77 here isn't implying anything too loose. That's standard for a TAG. It isn't standard for your random player, but those players are more prone to raise random hands from time to time and are easier to play post flop.

with weak tight still to act right behind you i don't think you should even be peeling the flop. when weak tight players cc 3 bets PF from EP raisers the ranges that immediately pop into my head are TT-QQ and AK. combine that with UTG's capping range and you're drawing slim to dead.

call the flop and fold the turn UI. Your equity is wowowowow bad. If a Q comes off the turn you're still not a favorite.

Folding the flop is probably best actually, but whatever we do, I am not paying a double bet on the turn.
