UTG ($109.8BB) 110bb
UTG+1 ($100.6BB) 101bb
CO ($82.4BB) 82bb
BTN ($100BB) 100bb
SB ($77.6BB) 78bb
BB Hero ($106.4BB) 106bb
Pre-Flop: (1.4BB, 6 players) Hero is BB A♠: Q♠:

1 fold, UTG+1 calls 1BB, CO raises to 3BB, 2 folds, Hero raises to 10BB, UTG+1 folds, CO calls 7BB

He bets only 3bb when there is a limper so I expect he doesnt have a strong hand so I 3bet to take the pot right there.

Flop: 4♦: 8♣: Q♦: ($21.4BB, 2 players)
Hero bets 13BB, CO calls 13BB

I have a tPtK so I cbet for value. Also there is a FD so I dont want to give him a free card.

Turn: 7♠: ($47.4BB, 2)
Hero bets 31.8BB, CO goes all-in 59.4BB, Hero calls 27.6BB

I decide to cbet again to protect my hand against a FD. He shoves. Its either with a FD or a hand that is beating me, but I have already invested quite a lot of chips into a pot so I call.

River: 7♥: ($166.2BB, 2), 1 all-in
Final Pot: $166.2BB
CO shows a full house, Queens full of Sevens
Q♣: Q♥:
Hero shows two pair, Queens and Sevens
A♠: Q♠:
CO wins $159.4BB (net +$77BB)
Hero lost $82.4BB
UTG+1 lost $1BB

Villain's turn raise is polarized between AQ, 88 or FD's. I don't think he should be having many QQ+ combos here (kind of a mistake to not 4bet 80bb short).

Your odds are too good to fold. You risk about 30 to win about 160, that's more than 5:1, or you just need to be ahead about 17% of the time.

OTT I expect Villain's range to have some JdTd, KdQd, AdJd type hands too, so I think you're +EV. I don't have a Equilator here, so maybe you can post the results(?).

PS. If Villain floats too much then x/r jam OTT yourself.

Well played. Never getting away from this, especially when opponent is not fully stacked. You just ran into the top of his range here. Nothing to sweat over.

Why would you want to take down pot preflo with AQs? What's your point? :(

If he's a stationy guy then 3bet for value.
If he folds too much (over 80%, f.e.) then flat and play a pot vs fun player too.

AQs play well in MWP.

I meant it like Im going to be OOP for the rest of the hand so free 4,5bb right there is never bad. However Im happy if he calls as well.
