3bet with AQs from SB

[betafemale]

$0.5/1.0 (aka NL100) on iPoker. 6max, 6 persons.

UTG ($80 stack) (22/12) raises to $4, folds to me in SB ($71), I 3 bet with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to $14, UTG calls.

Flop ($30): 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I have $57 left and I?

Should I have just called preflop instead of 3 betting? Villian seemed sane.

Reload PF. Because of your stack size raise to $12 PF. I may c/f as villain is never folding an overpair and all you can hope is that he has AK or AQ (no suited in hearts) and folds.

I absolutely hate AQ in the blinds vs UT raisers. C/F flop now.

I fold preflop

What's the best play with AQs here? Just fold PF? It sucks raising it because of the position it puts us in post flop like this hand.

I don't like the 3 bet vs a UTG raiser at 22/12. As played take one stab to hopefully fold out AK (2/3 pot).

Its a tough one, I might fold preflop, if BB is loose enough to bring him along for the ride, I prob call.

It's more about whether UTG is good or bad. If he sucks then call preflop, if he's good then fold.

[Roadstar]

Are you thinking of reverse floating bad villains? i.e. c/c, donk turn

or are you thinking that bad villains could overvalue their hands when you can stack then with 2pair/flush/straight type hands?
