Tought spot pre. I probably fold, but will call if I'm POed at the time. From then on I probably play it the same.

[Q..]

I probably fold pre since i don't think AQ plays for +EV in preflop reraised situations,unless reraiser is very loose, but if i decide to call i have to assume i am ahead on the flop (why would we call if we arent happy with this flop) and raise it there.

[tdual]

i understand the pre, but why the flop play? You hit just about the most ideal flop for your hand. Why not bet it much harder so you can see where your at. A call just has you committed for the rest of the had with no real read. Are you slow playing on the flop? You're dead to aa, kk or qq at most and a call will inevitably lead to a hard choice on the turn. Figure out where your at. On the flop, readless i'd put the vil. on aj, aq, ak, or tt+ (what do you guys think) with a chance of a resteal attempt that hit a weak q or k. You need to figure out where your at as most of the this range you have beat, as some of it has you crushed. I think a reraise should do that. Is it that a reraise would be too expensive, it'd be all in or nothing? If you don't feel like doing all of this just fold.

How's this analysis? Anyone?

[Little John]

i usuallyfold preflop to the reraise unless villian is laggy.

as played, i just raise the flop and get them in. not sure if that is a good line or not.

[w33ktight]

if you don't stackoff here don't call preflop imo.

[mihs]

i don't like the call much preflop... but i really hate the call flop. as stated by others why call pf if youre gonna just call to a flop like that? i'd say push flop

[MikeMcQ1]

For those of you saying shove flop, what will call my shove? I *am* going to stack off here, but rather let villain do it himself.

Yes, preflop was my biggest question. Villain had AJ [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
