Lol yeah. These should be called semi-premium.
I have found, that at these levels, you have to make a hefty raise to keep people out of the pot. Say 5xbb or so. And even so, you'll still get 4-5 callers, juicing the pot up, but making c-bet pretty much impossible.
Anyway, the AQ call came from disgust of the previous two hands. Its like an accumulation of these few days, in which I've had soooo many second bests.
Thing is, I don't multitable. I just can't believe how many times I've been dealt second bests in such a short span. AK to AA, QQ to KK, JJ to QQ etc.
Of course, this being no-limit, it usually means game over.
I have to find a way to deal with this, play the situation and not the cards.
Keep a cool head.

Else I'll keep paying off with second (and third) bests forever.
