$2.20 NL HE Deep Stacked: AQ in EP should i raise?

My position is on UTG first to act is it UTG+1? Not sure about the acronyms.

But anyway I raised my AQ 3xBB then someone on the MP reraise me. Should I fold this?

What I do is call the raise then Flop came nothing for me. I check he raises again. I fold. Is it the right move? Any advice would help. Thanks.

W/O reads, yes it would be OK to fold to the 3-bet from MP and it was correct to fold on the flop that you missed.

Stack sizes, positions and blind levels help a lot in hand analysis.

As far as I remember I have like over 9,000 chips at UTG+1 and my opponent have 8,000 chips at MP. The blinds were 200/400.

with that information i would definantly say fold this. probalbly had a decent size pp and at the best odds u were coin flipping. good lay down imo

Generally speaking a raise UTG to 3 big blinds with Ace Queen is pretty standard. Limp occasionally for variation.

Yes sir, I feel good about folding it. I feel something is strange during that deal because of his aggressive was unusual. I think he has KK or AA that time.


Guys, I need help in this situation. For e.g I raise 3bb AQ in UTG flop came but I i didnt hit. Should I fire another bullet? Or just check?

FWIW I have been folding AQo in UTG & UTG+1 almost 90% of the time these days. If the table has been really tight I will play it for a raise. Whether you c-bet or not depends on the players behind you and the flop texture.

Jilly,

What do you mean depends on the players behind and flop texture?

Jilly,

I'm assuming he means who's left to act when saying "players behind". Depending on if they're nits, uber-lags or just dam good players you want to avoid will help determine what you do with the hand.

Flop texture refers to the flop and how it looks (draws, all low, all high) and if it may have hit your opponent.

And with that all said, I raise AQ utg in this situation 80% and limp 20% for variety. I may fold to a 3-bet depending on my stats of the re-raiser.
