what is pf here, a value raise or something? You're not going to get anything to muck here that limped in... I really don't like it. If you're going to raise, go to atleast 500 and I might even shove here with 450 dead and you're almost always ahead/racing to mid pps here that probably can't call.

Flop looks fine as played.

[Q..]

just push preflop , this smallish raise is very bad oop i think

[CheeseMoney]

Preflop I think you need to either shove or complete. I'm typically shoving.

[RRizGod]

that preflop raise is terrible. Shove preflop and pick up the 350.

[AMT]

as said, your pf raise sucks and a shove is better.

[sippin_criss]

just stop raising AQ after multiple limpers especially oop and you wont get into all this mess, unless you're in a spot where you can just shove, and in that case, you should shove.
