Too weak tight? 5/10 AQ

[WalkAmongUs]

PRE-FLOP: Hero is dealt AsQs

1 folds, UTG+1 calls $5, UTG+2 raises to $10, 2 fold, HERO calls $10, 1 folds, BB calls $5, UTG+1 calls $5.

FLOP: 2h,Jc,5c
2 check, PFR bets $5, mcguirk0 folds...

I think it's fine against unknowns.

Why on earth didn't you 3bet preflop???

[sharpie]

I missed that thought he raised PF.

sorry...forgot to put in UTG+2's stats...he was 19/9 with an agression freq. of 44.

I didn't 3-bet because he's fairly tight and raising from early position.

In my opinion, this should still be 3-bet preflop. With a PFR of 9, I don't think he is tight enough preflop to cause you to do anything else. I'd try to gain initiative and control preflop...Given his early position, I think the decision is close though.

I would raise to knock out some players then see what the turn brings. This could just be a continuation bet.

I'm 3-betting AQs with position against anyone who's raising more than, say, 4% of their hands. AQo I might coldcall with.

If he caps and leads into you on this flop, easy fold. If he doesn't & checks to you on the flop, easy continuation bet and then play the turn based on what falls & how many flop callers you had.

Ugh...when did it become standard when facing a TAG's EP raise to three-bet with AQs and coldcall with AQo?

for me, facing a TAG's EP raise, AQs is mostly cold-call (if not, fold) and AQo is a fold.

I felt good about this flop fold as well.
