AQ , TOO WEAK? (6.50)

[DetroitHusling101]

Meh , i called with intentions of being careful on a ace high flop. Than a nice flop comes for me. I plan on re raising until guy to my right re raises so i fold. Is that too weak? Only thing im ahead of really that MIGHT re raise is KQ...

I bet about ~200 on the flop and fold to a raise. Its not a great flop for us and idealy we'll get 3 folds.
As played I agree, you gotta fold after the raise.

Im interested to see what other peoples feelings are towards check-raising as opposed to leading in this hand.

My reasoning for going for the C/R is....
I hate leading into 3 other opponents.
I have position on the most likely player to bet at the flop (UTG+1 )
So given i expect him to bet i can see how the BU and SB react.
If they fold I raise.
If they flat call i don't know. I guess that's kinda a tough decision than.

I 50/50 checkraise and lead out for 2/3 pot in this spot. Obviously fold the flop as played.

I don't agree this is a good flop

I would just bet/fold. If you check raise and he shoves what are you going to do? Even if he just calls you're going to hate a lot of turns and you're OOP (vs UTG + 1).

I hate it. Bet, hope they all fold. Checkraising puts a lot of chips at risk for relatively little reward.

And if you think this is a nice flop for you, fold preflop and stay out of trouble.
