What is correct play here?
Thank you!
c/c is the best play on the flop. villain will like cbet almost all the time + we get a good price here to call. u r still ahead of his range at this point, so folding is way to weak here.
Your best line in the hand would be to 3bet AI. You have ~ 20BB effective stack, therefore your decision pre-flop should be mainly between 3bet AI or fold, especially when you are out of position. AQo is strong enough for a 3bet, assuming BU is not extremely tight.
Flat calling out of position is rarely a good idea, unless you have specific reason to do so.
As played. I would check / raise, or float depending on the villain. I agree folding is to week, since villain would C-bet 775 a high % of the time with air worse than A high and your 6 outs in case you are behind will be clean most of the time.
i was thinking for a sec when i read vidratas post. i was like umm hes probably right about the preflop play and the position disadvantage postflop. but then again i think its not too bad to just call, cuz we represent a much weaker range. i think its an ok play to keep his wide range alive and play postflop, even if its out of position.
tho i wud not like to 3bet ai here. i like a 3bet to ~1700-1900. in the end we might almost commit ourselves, but we give him a chance to even shove weaker hands. tho it wud be a tough call in the end. but i think a normal 3bet looks even more strong than a shove. shoving pf is +ev anyway and flatcalling isnt a mistake imo. so i like all 3 options overall. as played flatcalling with such a nice flop is obv best line ^^. on this flop u cud bluff3bet btn all day long imo xD, but thats a diff story 
Hi all,
I'd push with at least AJ+ here, these hands are too strong to just flat preflop with. Generally 20BB can be regarded as a resteal stacksize, so we should be going all-in or folding after our opponent minraises.
