Several laughed at me for the fold, But I stand by my move. (not that I said a word to them)

AQ just isnt a hand to play against a raise, unless you know the player IMO.

I want to know the player before I call a raise with AQ.. what do ya'll think about AQ after a reraise?

You have to call, since you have position on the reraiser and he only minreraised. If you lack position however against him (i.e. if the button had min-reraised you), then folding would probably be the better option.

This is another example of where position is key in determining your correct course of action.

You call that a reraise? I call it a three-bet. Because that's what it is.

ok, very outvoted here then =)'

How much of a re-raise should I be calling with AQ?

I've had a lot of bad luck with AQ hitting AK, so I guess i'm way to careful now =)

Against a non-committing raise, AQ becomes an implied odds type hand... if you hit, you're good, if you miss you fold.

Also, you shouldn't let past hands dictate your previous ones... that's like folding KK preflop because you've run against AA a few times.

Call the 3bet (nod to whoever said it earlier) and play it from there.

My name is not whoever. Do you see why?
