AQ flop TopPair... good fold?

[SinkRox]

i know my flop raise was weak... i would normally bet $3 or 4 here but wanted someone to actually call... wish i bet the pot now and stood more of a chance of taking it there, instead of looking weak. No read on the re-raisor so i let the hand go (put him on a AK limp or more likely 2-pair or trips)

I hate your flop bet. No telling what that guy had.

Yup. Especially since this is 6-max. Dude could have hit ANYTHING and think he's ahead. Or maybe he has A6 and he thinks he's way ahead when he's not.

Reraise; no doubt.

I like the laydown. Besides the possibility of him snaking your weak ass flop bet with a stone bluff, I'm actually putting the other guy on AK or AT. The size of the raise is confident and very trappy. Stinks of TPTK or two pair not wanting you to catch your Q kicker on the turn to improve over him.

This was a good laydown without info. Your postflop bet was definately weak. The pot was $4.20, and you bet $2 with TP. Gotta at least bet $3 here. I do believe you were beat however. I think a bluff attempt would have been $5 or $6 to see if you were continuing with nothing, not $8.
