I would rerasie at that position to give much stronger image of the cards am holding to my villan. This way i open up the scope to bluff even if i dont hit the flop...

Gotta put in that 3 bet. But since u will be OOP post flop I probably fold to a 4 bet a lot of the time because asking this question probably means u r playing Lowish stakes. At Lowish stakes, a 4 bet would polarize their range down to roughly 10's/AK+ it will often be QQ/AK+ and that's not exactly a range u wanna be screwing with OOP post flop with AQ.

So in summary... I'm 3 betting and folding to a 4 bet

Gotta put in that 3 bet. But since u will be OOP post flop I would always fold to a 4BAI w/o reads, and never flat even a min 4b OOP given 100bb stacks At Lowish stakes, a 4 bet would polarize their range down to roughly AA/KK/AK and air, and it will often be flat called by TT-QQ and that's not exactly a range u wanna be screwing with OOP post flop with AQ.

So in summary... I'm 3 betting and folding to a 4 bet

FYP

It depends of your play style, and your opponent´s play style. If you know that he´s a maniac, who try to steal every single blind then a nice re-raise will be enough. If he´s a tight player you have to pay attention and slow down. Just make the call, see the flop and try a move on him. I do check-raise lots of times and it works very well for me. However my best advise is don´t overvalue that hand. Don´t bet straight up or you will be commited to the pot which can give you a lot of problems. Play really slow because that hand can be easily beaten by a middle pair, or even a weak ace who hit two pair.

You don't think people at like 10NL will 4 bet 10's jacks or queens?

ive played 70k hands in the last month on stars, vast majority at 10nl and the answer is definitely no, unless theyre 4b folding or BvB

Almost impossible. At 10NL anything beyond a 3bet is AA/KK and AK QQ rarely.

Jacks almost always flat a 3bet at 10NL.

I kid you not.

If no one of my opponents make raise before me, then I will make raise 3xBB, or if somebody before me make a raise, then I will only make a call. However it depends from the stack of my chips and from the raise of the opponent who made it.

Pretty sure a 3 bet is best

Who is the LP raiser? If it is Dr. Nit himself, I may just fold and move on. Generally, a 3bet is best against any standard player who may be playing his position or raises widely in general.

I hate AQ, one doesn't know what to do with it. One usually plays it like AK but it isn't AK. I usually lose with them

Daniel Negreanu used to call A-Q "1.4," named after how many million he has lost with it.

It is singlehandedly the biggest trouble hand in poker.

A-Q is a Top 10 hand, but is not a premium hand. That distinction must be clear

no
no such thing as a trouble hand
there shouldnt be a distinction and hand rankings are somewhat pointless

Are you saying Daniel Negreanu is wrong?

yes, he probably said that about 6 years ago

and he also believes that positive thoughts effect what happens in real life, so theres that
