    Default AQs - early ($16)

    Opp's flop bet seems like a feeler bet. Do we raise it up here (and is the raise enough?) or call and see a turn card?

    With absolutely no part of the flop we fold cheaply. We have no showdown value so by raising here you set up a bet on the turn to take it away from him. That is very risky, I.e. it may be +EV but it's a high variance play.

    I would just save chips here, no need for FPS.

    The real problem is you pull the raise and don't follow it up. You have little to no showdown value, you set up the bluff and it was expensive. Now pull the trigger and bet 4th or 5th street.
    This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

    I think you can safely fold the flop, however as played I would bet the turn
