I'd fold, I just don't see him bluffing here, as played he may have a set of 2's.

I call and expect to stack a weak ace, as usual at 25NL.

This is weak IMO. I'm not folding this for 50BB. Los toros is right - You will see a weak ace or even clubs often. When villain is as LAGgy as a 40/20, this is a rather easy call.

well over 17 hands not exactly a big sample but as you said los toros it felt like a small A. EV+ in your opinion?

I like a call as well. He's probably on a flush draw trying to take the pot right there. He didn't raise PF which rules out AA, AK and probably even TT.

I think it's close.

You are a slight favorite over KQs / KJs. You have AJ, A9-A3, KK-JJ, 99-33 crushed. You are crushed by AT, A2, AK, TT, 22, and even the possible slowplayed AA.

With no specific read, 17 hands is not enough to know if he's the type to limp/call the stronger hands.

This is a pretty standard fold in a lot of games but a call you just have to make for $11 (getting 1.5:1) in other games.

If you call now you are showing you can't be pushed off your c-bets so people are less likely to play back at you, but in general I don't think that's such a big issue at NL25.

I am more likely to muck if I've been at the table a while and have a decent image, and more likely to call if I'm new at the table to see how it's playing.

On the other hand, I'm probably less likely to play AQo this fast in the first place in full ring against unknowns.
