Just observed a friend do this....yay or nay?

PF is so, so bad.

Post flop.... meh. I'd just bet the flop, and if I didn't I'd give the PSB (which sets up a river shove nicely) respect.

I instantly felt the sentiments of the posters here. When he checked the flop I thought he either has the nuts or he has total garbage and decided not to get involved.

Then next thing I know he shoves the turn over villains ~PSB and I was like, 'sweet he got da nutz yo'. When the dude insta called, I was like, 'oh man what have you done'.

Dude flips AQc...gg

WTF was my friend thinking though? Starting with preflop. WTF. Sometimes when you are observing play it seems so clear. When you are in the thick of it it is easy to get lost sometimes....

i think this typifies the mess we get in to in 3-bet pots weakly. i thinking betting flop isnt as bad as shoving turn. I think checking it through hope to NOT hit an Ace is all you can do to recover from the pre-mistake which is raising a junk hand like A-5 in the first place.

Seems pretty bad to me, you are dead most every time you are called and probably don't fold out Villain near often enough to make this worth it. Preflop is very bad.

I would either fold or 4-bet/fold pre. Most likely fold.
