    Default AQ Top Two , Butchered home game hand.

    7 handed. 25c/50c blinds.
    Stacks are rough sizes
    UTG $20
    UTG+1 $20
    MP $20
    CO $20
    BU $100
    SB $40

    BB (ME) checks , BU shoves for about $50 more.

    BU is decent laggy player. I THINK worse 2 pairs are in his range here and total bluffs along with sets/flushes.
    I hate myself for this hand. I just finished reading PNL , and my first mistake is not re-raising his BU raise pre to give me a target SPR. I intentionally put extra money on the table to have this laggy player covered , and now on this river I'm regretting it.

    Im wondering how i get away from this? Is Bet/fold the turn a good option?

    Even if i reraise pre to say $7 and CO folds and BU calls and lead out almost pot the turn pot would be about the same and i would still be in a crappy situation.
    I hate myself for trying to play deep stack poker , why didn't i stay home and play a gazillion sng's?

    Thanks for any advice on this hand because it's really bothering me.

    and comments / help on postflop AS PLAYED is mainly what I'm looking for. I know the FIRST and BIGGEST mistake is not 3betting this since im OOP and want to get a good spr
    & is c/rai bad on the flop even if im like 100% sure BU will bet if checked to after raising pre.

    ok 3 bet pre. on second thoughts i like the c/r on flop. then b/c turn. i mean either way i think you got it in with the best hand at least 80% of the time. the only thing really beating you is a set.

    The flop action on such a multiway drawy board makes it pretty unlikely he flopped a monster. Would he shove over your raise with a flush draw?

    I think he either has AJ thats not sure if its good on the flop or turn but then decides it is on the river. Or he has the flush. I dont think he plays AJ this way all of the time though but there are so many more combinations of AJ than there are 45s-JTs that he should have the weaker 2 pair almost as often as the flush even though Axs isn't possible.

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 50.000% 50.00% 00.00% 4 0.00 { AdQd }
    Hand 1: 50.000% 50.00% 00.00% 4 0.00 { JcTc, Tc9c, 9c8c, 8c7c, 7c6c, 6c5c, AdJc, AhJc, AhJd, AsJc, AsJd, AsJh }


    Also since hes a LAG hes going to show up with some other random missed draw or whatever that just wants to rep the flush some small percentage of the time (5-10%?).

    It actually looks like we are still a favorite here, or at the very least a coin toss and we are getting pretty huge pot odds. So this seems like a pretty easy call even though my first instinct was puke.
