Reads: Villain hasn't done anything out of line. There was one lagtard who kept shoving over the top of peoples original raise and Villain in this hand just called and 2x'ed up with 99..Other than that, not a whole lot of info..I have a tag image..I raised on the flop because it was a multiway pot and I didn't want to give anyone correct odds to draw..I also was raising to prevent myself from getting double barreled from a hand I beat like AK or JJ..Turn I think is a standard fold..Does anyone do anything differently here?

nope i like it all

[Andromeda]

this is a fold for me as well, guy raised PF, bet and called your raise. I'm thinking a set for some reason.

[StilettoNole]

I think that you played it well. As played, this is exactly how I would have done it.

[Acid_Knight]

I reraise preflop here more than I call, but calling is ok. The rest of the hand is fine.

[Sheiky]

I think this is fine.

[StilettoNole]

Acid, thanks for bringing up the reraise PR. I thought about it after I posted and wondered if I was the only person who reraising a lot PF in this situation? Does anyone else think about reraising there?

[throwemaway]

Since he is raising from UTG, I decided to flat call..Any other position and I'm more inclined to R/r

You should still RR here. AQ+ and like JJ+ is still an extremely tight RRing raise in 2nd position after an UTG raise in a 6 max game. If you call, you're inviting the CO and the Button into the pot as well and you'd really like to have position with this hand. Also, with you taking the lead, you're gonna force him to hit a flop and you can win when you both miss as opposed to you folding to his continuation bet when you miss.

This is the best argument for reraising here, I think you were just lucky that you still found yourself in position after you called. If you were out of position in this hand it probably would have been a lot more expensive to get away from.

My guess is he had KQ, AdJd or Kdxd.

[Royal_Tour]

before u fold, you are required to type

"you just got lucky"

then fold.

hope he shows his cards at that point.

Of course.

[throwemaway]

Of course.

Turn was the easiest decision obv. PF and flop was where I was most curious about if I was taking a standard line

OK. Well, villain did lead weak, and then called. Lemme see ... I would be thinking that the cards you didn't want to see on the turn include:

any diamond
any ace
any king
any jack

And I wouldn't be really very anxious to go crazy with my AQ to be honest.
I think people over-value it in raised pots.
