[Closed] AQ in BB against Donkville

Hi,

Your stack size is 45xbb effective (see stack sizes other players).
After 1 raise and surely after 2 raises, AQo isnt any good. So NH folding it

AK would be a shove for sure.

If the table is way too loose, tighten up instead of looser Just wait for the good hands and stack them No need to get evolved in marginal situations.

Hey AllinStefk,

Nice fold. There is a raise, call and squeeze(second raise) where it's fairly safe to assume your AQ isn't good enough, so I would lay it down even with 20 big blind stack.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I also think the fold was a valid fold but it can be very frustrating at times playing against maniacs-especially when the cards arent coming all the time.

This was how the hand played out:

Hi AllinSteft.
That was a good decision. After rise you come in with QQ+ AK.
