50NL - AQ in BB against tag
Villain is 28/15/2.2 tag. I feel like I played this horrible. Should I always 3-bet this pf versus a tag or is a call ok?

I fold pre-flop. I think a call is pretty bad.

He's raising UTG meaning his range is smallish: 22-AA,AJ+,KQ, maybe a few other holdings...maybe not even that many hands. You are in the BB meaning you are OOP. This hand is going to be tough to play. On the button I would call. If he was UTG+1 and I was button I would raise. As is in this hand I think folding>>>raising>>>calling. I suppose I could be wrong. But he hits the A here and you yourself say you have no idea how to play it after hitting your hand. |

Re: 50NL - AQ in BB against tag
I don't like raising preflop or folding. So that leaves calling as the only option. I'd ocassionally raise, but never fold. AQ is ahead of a UTGs 15 PFR range.
I call river. I don't think he has AK. if he has a set, then more power to him. |

All broadway and a slew of suited connectors are in UTG's preflop range at 15% -- they are in mine and I am 17%. Raising preflop against this range with AQ is good. Otherwise you are playing into their hands and check-folding all kinds of flops when they cbet with nothing. |

Re: 50NL - AQ in BB against tag
Calling is OK from BB, but the problem is that you are OOP against the pf raiser. I imagine the whole hand you felt very uncomfortable. I would fold the turn as its obvious UTG wants to make you pay with your whole stack you don't really have the hand to do it with.
Make a note of this villian. Watch what he does against other players. Is this aggression normal with TPTK or is he trying to get you off your hand? |
