Against a tighter reg of 18/16 after 60 hands. My plan was to call 3bet IP. If I hit then call 2 streets or try to stab if he checks. OTR I dont think I have a call. But there is also very little that beats me - AA and AK. But I also beat only bluff or chop with AQ. And I dont expect tighter regs to bluff 3 barrels in 3bet pots so I folded.

Tough spot...I think folding is the right play most of the time. The villain is representing AA or AK here, sometimes you will chop with AQ. However, if you think the villain would 3-bet with spades like K♠:Q♠: or 7♠:8♠: and triple barrel bluff them all you can probably call here. I think its unlikely though so I would fold as well.

Why not 4bet preflop? :f_confused: I call AQs, AQo 4bet. Villian represent AA or AK .... as played fold river.

In these positions AQ is a default call for me against regs or unknowns both suited and off. I think 4betting would turn the hand into a bluff and thats a pity since its strong enough. I would 4bet maybe KJo or KQo as a bluff.

If he is really that tight a player then I think you can let go of AQo here preflop.

Folding preflop is kind of nitty tbh. You have position. I'd even consider re-raising vs strong regs who understand you're isolating a fish and want the pot, AQo performs very well in this spots.
Postflop call it down. Doesn't make sense to call twice and fold OTR. He doesn't have 2x in his range, only one combo of AA is possible, you block it and AK too. You also don't block any spades, which is good.
AQo is the top of your range here (do yo play AK this way?), so it is irrelevant what he has. Call.

Yes vs. good reg is good option..... but this reg is unkown for me...... we have just 60 hand and no reads. Population tendence regs this limit is stationary this spots, really good regs not tripple barrel bluff on unkown reg he had maybe 60h too, if it does not have a purchased history.... or very good read. AQ is 4bet for me vs. unkown player and I will avoid exactly this difficult situation.

Unpredictable, but what more harm can be done, those bluffs are so well thought through, nearly impossible to bluffcatch in got days.
With how things developed, don't see how it's difficult. Santard play. Don't know about sample size, 1k is all I got, can't afford to maek as uptions w/o is not fino.
