Well I think my line here is too weak.
He could have a worse A than mine (AJ), I think twopair is mainly not in his range due to the 2 and 4. Set is possible. So I'm behind against Set, AK and ahead of any worse A.
What to do? Call and reevaluate at the turn?

there are full ring forums available. not sure if you want to use them, but they are there. uNL will do just the same i think.

anyways, not sure how good raising AQs utg full ring is. i would probably do it, but i have no clue how to play FR, so take it fwiw.

there are a few options here. i think the converter screwed up, i'm guessing the pot was like $2.35. your bet size is fine.

okay, he raised. his range is probably a bit stronger here, given that you have shown alot of strength thus far (raise UTG/bet flop).

i think your fold is fine. it will be very hard to continue in this hand without felting here, not necessarily the best spot. there can definitely be an argument for calling and continuing in this hand (be it betting the turn/or c/r-ing the turn), but not really sure.

it is a tough spot you are in but at this level you will SOMETIMES get reraised in this spot by high pocket pairs... it sounds soo stupid with an ace on the board but people just cant lay big pocket pairs... i think there are better positions to get your money in the middle with better hands....
