Hi all,
Thanks for the replies.
Judging from your responses I think my actual holding was probably borderline and an argument can be made for all actions.
I had AQs.
Folding
The sb 3bets oop knowing not only that the cut off has yet to respond, but also that I in the bb also have to act with a re-jamming stack. This suggests a very strong range of 10+ AK, maybe AQ. With my specific hand I am at best flipping. I could fold and play a lower variance style and still have time to wait for a better spot.
Call
I can call, with AQs I have TPTK, Nut straight, nut flush potential. If I whiff the flop I can check/fold and strategically wise, in terms of stack size, still be able to generate fold
equity against the avg stack of around 35bb. My issue is if the CO jams behind us we're in a tough spot.
Jam
With 23bb I generally have a lot of fold equity against most ranges, if sb is 3betting a little lighter than previously mentioned, say 88+, A10+ we are probably doing fine. The CO range should be quite wide as he should be trying to steal a fair amount. Also, with AQ we block some combos of strong
hands like AA, QQ, AK, AQ etc.
Without reads I suppose it comes down to whether you want a higher or lower variance style on the day.
Is my logic sound here?
Thank you for your thoughts.
John.
