2/4 5-max (5 handed)

No reads. How are we playing against unknowns?

Preflop: Hero is SB with A Q

UTG raises

Calls? Folds? Raises?

How are we handling this situation if CO just cold-calls?

If the CO cold calls, we 3-bet.

In this spot, we fold. Too likely we're dominated by at least 1 opponent, and we are OOP calling 2.5 cold. Don't like this spot.

This could depend on your reads of these players, but with little or no reads, i'm folding.

I agree with the others, I think this is a fold. If it's AQs I may not be able to restrain myself from cold calling though.

This really depends on the other players. With no reads, I hate life and fold. With reads, sometimes I cap, other times I cold call, and other times I fold.

I'd cap it. Fire at an Ace, slow down if called and fold if raised. I think we could easily be in a coin flip with the CO, maybe also a coin flip w/UTG. But UTG could also be raising ATs, AJ, KQ in addition to 77 on up. he may fold for two cold.

In the Co's position, I could easily 3 bet with 99 to isolate.

With no reads, I fold and cry when I see K 10 going up against 88 or something.

i slip the Button a reach around, steal his white disc, then I cap.

fold and yearn for the day when you will have position on a maniac
