Preflop. I play AQs only from late, sometimes from MP3. I fold here.

Post flop. 410 $ in the pot. C-bet 1/2 -1/3 of the pot. Ater C-bet we will have about 10 - 13 BB left. Maybe we could shove here alredy.

Turn. We have already 810 $ into the pot and 655 $ (13 BB) in our chip stack. We didn't hit the turn (and also our opponent might not) and now we are quite commited (imo) because, if we fold we have only 13 BB left. Push or fold stage on next hand, if we fold.

Can we fold? 2 overcards, nut flush draw. I think we could shove here (or postflop, if we count that we will have so less chips in the future).

My conclusion: Don't play AQ from early.


Blinds 25/50 and already 3 players out. I would say table full of donks and calling stations. So best play would be to sit tight as hell and wait for them to knock each other out. Since you decided to play the hand I would check on the turn since you cant make him fold, the guy called UTG raise and a c-bet but he never raised so i think you would have gotten a free card.

The preflop raise is fine. When we are cbetting this flop, we are also committed and so we have to push the turn.

I like to check/raise the flop. If he checks behind, we can draw for free, and if he bets, we generate max. foldequity with our hand. An directly push on the flop is overplayed i think.
