  2. Poor spot for AQ... If you can avoid this 3 bet and other AQ spots you will separate your self from a large pack. Not saying always fold AQ but this is a very read dependent spot to be 3 betting. With zero info I personally fold this pre.

    Sorry.. read this wrong. You can fold but getting it in there isnt the worst. Kind of a cooler for the most part given his stack.

    Some where in my brain i think this is what I wanted to say...

    OP this is by far not a leak. It's no diff. then getting KK in vs AA. In the long run this hand will not hurt you one bit. glgllgl
  5. Thanks everyone....

    It wasn't the initial opener who I was afraid of, obv i'm far ahead of most of his range...

    It just seems like a spot where i'm committing a large portion of my stack while there are still players behind me to act... and i'll have to call off anyone's 4bet.

    In a hypothetical situation, what would you do if you had AQs with 100bb in MP and UTG shoves for 10bbs and there are all 80bb stacks behind you? 2.5x 3bet his shove and fold to a 4bet?

    Again, I appreciate the input greatly... Merry Christmas to you all!
