I think you're better off squeezing here instead of calling pre. I can't say I'm a fan of your line just because it's a bit passive.

As played, If you're calling the turn why did you fold the river?

Looks good, nh!

Yes. AQ is too strong to fold, but not strong enough to 4-bet, so you call with position.

As played, If you're calling the turn why did you fold the river?
The nut flush draw and the chance of being ahead of AJ, imo.

...... I suppose.... : ) I guess villain could 3bet AJ pre but why would they keep barrelling on that board?

I honestly don't mind cold 4 bet/folding here(bluff). You may have position on the small blind but once you call the BTN will also call so you actually are OOP and you are going to have a really hard time folding any time you flop top pair.

With that said calling is meh and probably close to 0EV.

Yeah, this is a snap fold pre-flop. You're so far behind at this point, the only thing you have going for you is position. You also have to be concerned that if you call, UTG 4-bets and you have to fold.

As an option can we squeeze here or no? Does AQo have too much equity?
