yes call that. you beat a lot here. bet the flop for more though, half pot just doesnt cut it with 3 to the flop at 5NL

Yeah get that shit in the middle!

He limped UTG, if he has a 4 in his hand without it being 44 then you'll take his money back, just follow him around!

Is this the correct preflop line when playing AQo from the SB? I would usually just call as I definitely wouldn't raise AQo from UTG (probably just fold).

AQ is definitely a raise from UTG at a 6 handed table.

Here, I think it is marginal, calling sometimes and raising other times to mix it up is fine.

and if you're going to raise it oop, then raise it more.

I am raising to get a the amount of people to the flop smaller.

I sometimes just call, sometimes raise. Probably 30% 70 call

Hm... perhaps this is something missing from my play. I rarely change how I play a hand, I don't mix it up enough.

Honestly, at micro stakes x=/<NL25 you probably don't even have to worry about it, but once people start trying to play smart, its a good idea to try and not be predictable.

Well as played I think you have to call . But I think you will lose

There are alot of hands that can beat you , the thing is if he was bluffing why did he call your re raise?

You are clearly beat or the guy is a donk and just made a bad move with flush draw.

The only hand you can beat wouldve probably been KQ imo ..

I would put him on 77
