Agree - just call the initial 3-bet. The other guy is screaming strength, which often means AKs, AA, KK, AK or QQ all of which dominate your AQ. A bet like that from a position of strength (btn) carries more weight than the same reraise from a blind (where the guy may also be saying that he doesn't really want a call).I don't like the 4-bet with AQ...too many hands you could be dominated by. I think a straight call and evaluate on the flop would be the better play.
I would call 9 BB with AQ, would not go all instantly.
It seems you were dominated by the other player, were you losing at the end , what did he have?
Should I three bet AQ AJ and A10 from the button? or smooth call? How about 99 or TT?
I raise UTG to 3BB in a 6 handed NL2 cash game with AQ. The button 3 bets me for 9BB. I 4-bet (should I do this?) 3x his raise and he 5 bet shoves. Do I call? At this point my pot odds almost force me to call... How can I avoid this?
