Default Leak or standard?

Sorry for the raw hand history.

Stars 20+2 NL. Rough stack sizes,
Hero (3600)
Villain (4000)

I have a tight image, if the villain has been paying attention. (not a certainty by any means)

No real reads on villain except he hasnt done anything out of the ordinary.

Blinds 50/100
Folded to a habitual limper in MP.
Hero with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] raises to 500 in the cutoff.
Villan re-raises to 1100 in the BB (pot = 1850)
MP folds
Hero..?

Is this a easy fold, if not do we call with position or just push? If we call whats our plan on the flop?

I think the leak is the 5x raise, if you intend to raise to 5x you can't fold to a smallish reraise

I think its an easy fold, unless you have a good read on your opponent. You raised pretty big and then he reraised you just a little out of position. With that raise he made it looks like he isnt scared of any possible flop. I doubt he is trying anything funny. I say fold and feel pretty confident about it.

I call but only because I'm a calling station, his range is probably QQ+/AK.

And being in the CO, 4xbb is fine. If you were raising from EP or MP 5x is okay, but you've already got good position.

Ok, general concensus is to call. I called but wasnt happy about it, and heres why.

Flop. 5 6 J rainbow, BB leads out for 500 into a 3800 pot.

Now what?

Folding seems really weak but I cant be ahead of anything and calling to hit an A or a Q leaves me pretty short?

C/F

And general consensus is wrong. I said I'd call, but only because I'm a calling station and have a big ego. In all honesty you should fold PF.

Preflop, reads are paramount. Without a read I flip a coin, then ignore it, and call because AQ sooted is soooo pretty...

Postflop, easy check/fold.

Edit: didn't see flop bet amount.

Yuck.

Edit 2 (I'm on a roll): didn't notice stack sizes, my bad. Push or fold preflop, strongly leaning towards fold.
