AQo vs. LAG and LP
<font color="blue"> SB was very laggy, especially pf -- he had raised 5 of the 15 hands we had played against each other so far.

Re: AQo vs. LAG and LP
give button's passivity you are probably way behind here. The pot is enormous, but I dont think calling down is ok here.
I think the turn raise was fine. You improved to top pair and a raise will be for value if you are ahead. If you are behind a passive player might simply call your raise and you can still draw to two pair or better. When he raises you can consider a fold. He likely has a set. May sound crazy but what about raise/folding the turn? At the least, I think a turn call and a c/f the river would be another line. You are likely way behind here. |

Sure, there is a chance they are all strong hands, but the higher likelihood is that villain is laggy. You and I have discussed sample sizes before. For a more interesting discussion, pretend my sample size was large enough. Now what would you do? |

Re: AQo vs. LAG and LP
Grunch
even with our position I think we just call the 3bet PF. Were it AQs we definitely cap. Flop: decent raise to try and get the button out of the picture. I agree with your thinking. We look better heads up if we catch. Button's three bet is distressing. Turn: We need to know if SB is going to checkraise here. If he's prone to CRing then we check through, if not then we donk this turn. Path one where SB CRs gives us info and a decent chance at getting way from the hand. Path two means we only pay 2BB instead of our three. River is standard. |

Re: AQo vs. LAG and LP
I dont think I would ever cap with AQo, even if I was against a maniac.
On the flop, heads up, I may raise, but vs. 2 or more, I call. You have overs and no pr. At best you have 6 outs. If button raises behind, I call one back to me, if SB caps, I am gone. All you have is over cards. ON Turn, I think you like your Qs, but when button goes to war, you ahve to slo down. Buttons 3 bet should mean that he is ahead. You may have 5 outs, you may have none. Remember that his isnt a pissing contest, and sometimes when they 3 bet the flop and bet reraise the turn, they have a real hand! On the river, you should only call if you hit a Q or A, and even then you will probably lose. Todd |

Re: AQo vs. LAG and LP
I agree with Dave's comments about the laggy read. Now I am going to pick on the read on as the other as LP. Loose, sure. I don't think I would call this guy passive with a 11% PFR% and a 1 on AF. I am sure you know how AF can be misleading when someone plays a lot of hands.
If you didn't have the limper in there, I would be more ok with the cap. I don't see much of a problem with the rest. I am thinking the button has something like a good Jx, QJ for two-pair, or maybe JJ(discounted). |
