Hi guys !

Preflop I put vilain on that range (this is moreless what I 3 bet in position vs cut off open):

Board: A♠A♣9♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
BU     17.44%  13.84%   3.60% { 99+, ATs+, A5s-A2s, KQs, K9s-K8s, QJs, T8s, 97s, 87s, 76s, ATo+, KQo }
BB     82.56%  78.96%   3.60% { AdQh }

When he bets the flop, I guess he has a lot of Ax, and flush draws, and 99 also.
On the turn, ok I remove half of his flush draws without ace, that he might check behind.

And now he shoves the river, I have 2.88 to 1 to call (26% equity needed).

Board: A♠A♣9♣ 6♥ T♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
BU     62.00%  56.00%   6.00% { 9d9h, 9d9s, 9h9s, 87s, AhKh, KcQc, AhJh, AhTh, Kc8c, Tc8c, Ah5h, Ah4h, Ah3h, Ah2h, AhKd, AhKs, AhKc, AhQd, AhQs, AhQc, AhJd, AhJs, AhJc }
BB     38.00%  32.00%   6.00% { AdQh }

So in game, I called. And I am still quite happy with it.

Is there a best way to play that hand?
Did I evaluate his possible range in a wrong way?

Raise OTT, you need to protect your hand (there is a flush draw). I think putting villain preflop on k8,k9 and one gappers is too optimistic. As played, I probably consider fold OTR.

Why are we cold-calling a 3b OOP w/ AQo? That's my biggest question.

I agree that cold calling AQo when OOP is not the best play. You maybe could 4bet this.
As played BTN should have a lot of weaker Ax hands in his range and he has some flush draws. I would consider raising OTF or at least OTT.
As played I would consider folding OTR because if he had trips he might not shove when flush comes. He has some flushes, full houses and AK.

- Would not have called the AQo OOP
- Would have raised OTF
- I don't like the call OTR but probably would have called this one

This line, as a whole, is almost certainly not profitable. On the turn, you really need to reassess his range. He is rarely betting a worse A. This is a spot to employ second level thinking. Go beyond "what is his range". Take it to "which range does he put you on" once he bets big again.

That said, fold preflop.

You mean fold or 4bet? 4bet with AQo?? It is NL5....

I'd fold myself. A credible 4-bet is in the range of 30 bb (about 25% of effective stacks), and that's too much for me to try to steal the 13 bb pot. The minuscule edge (if any) I perceive I have postflop if called when OOP is eaten up by the rake.

I can understand why you did not raise OTF. I feel like you should protect your hand OTT and make it really expensive. If he continues playing he most likely has you beat and I could see a fold OTR even.

Not much value in "protecting" a likely second best hand...
