Did I make the wrong play?

Would like some feedback. Guess I could’ve gotten away given his worst possible position and bet into me out of position with a board that hits my range.

Hey Gil!

I would of probably looked forward to a three bet in late position with a strong hand as AQs. This would probably lead to you 3-betting your whole stack to hopefully have the individual fold, however, like said in other posts you wouldn’t be able to get away from this hand.

Good luck going Forward,
Guy

Thanks guy, good point, I suppose that would’ve been a good route but given his earlky position I didn’t wanna overrep my hand. I appreciate the feedback though, thank you.

Yeah after that flop I don’t see you getting away from it either. It’s just unfortunate you ran into the set.

[Sean]

You did everything right. Just ran into a cooler.

Hi Gill,

I agree with Guy. A raise from you in the cut-off will often be a squeeze to take down all the limps so a re-squeeze from SB with a range including weak suited aces and medium suited connectors as well as JJ+ is reasonable to expect.

Given that:
– your hand was much stronger than it could have been;
– his re-squeeze range will have some less than stellar holdings
– and you have less than a pot-sized bet after making the call

I would look to 4-bet shove pre-flop 100% of the time here.

Also, I don’t think it’s ever worth calling with less than a pot-sized bet behind pre-flop, always shove and get the fold equity.

As for the actual hand AQs vs AA with less than 100BB effective stacks, if you’re folding this your being way too tight – it was just a cooler.

Cheers
Paul
