6max 25nl, AQo in 3bet pot gets action on montone flop

[fjuanl]

First orbit at the table. If this were a tourny Id be somewhat confident about being good, but whats a typically range for villian given the action? Betsizing too small? (btw - villian has 10 cents behind...)

Poker Stars $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
MP: $15.90
CO: $59.40
BTN: $5.80
SB: $39.85
Hero (BB): $25.00
UTG: $15.40

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BB with A Q
UTG raises to $0.75, MP calls $0.75, CO calls $0.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $3, 1 fold, MP calls $2.25, CO calls $2.25

Flop: ($9.85) A 7 3 (3 players)
Hero bets $6.40, MP raises to $12.80, CO folds, Hero ...

Dang.

EZ call. If you're not calling this raise then don't make your flop bet.

Pre size probably doesn't matter a whole lot. I'd raise one 3bb raise to $3 OOP, so after 2 limpers I'd make it at least $4. I don't really want to take AQo multi-way in bloated pot OOP so I would just call pre. It's weak, but then you're risking 2bb vs players who likely play straight up post, instead of trying to play OOP when you miss 60% and don't know the table dynamic.

call flop and fold turn to his $.10 bet

aka rr flop

Dang.

i guess this means im a super nit for even considering folding. yeah....im being results oriented

I don't 3b UTG raises OOP with AQo

I don't think you're a nit for considering it, you're probably losing >50% here but you don't need to be good that often with this kind of pot anymore, so you have to call..

[minSim]

yeah call because of stacks

^^^^^ this

But once you make that flop bet, you're committed so yeah, call.

[a500lbgorilla]

My dang meant that you have to call and I don't like it!

i don't mind 3betting here to thin the field.... depending on your read of UTG raiser. but i think flatting here 50% with AQ is fine too. AKsoooted probably 3 bet 90% of the time in this situation with 3 already in when it gets to us.

with only 1 opener in the pot...

i think you have to vary your 3bet range from the blinds. i think auto 3 betting AK AQ from blinds is to predictable. your OOP and flopping something 1/2 the time (pair or flush draw, or gut shot etc.)

my point is that i thought i had to auto 3 bet AK from the blinds for a while. and i see other regulars doing this as well. its to predictable.
