AQ 15x CO facing min open by unknown older gentleman always a ship?
PRThomas:
So we are in the Rendevouz season opener ME, so live setting. 2nd day, 14 left, 11 paid. Sitting on 15x and we get moved tables from one we had been on for past 8 or so levels, so have no reads on majority of table. More to the point, we have no reads on the villain, except age prejudices, ie that he is an older fellow, perhaps 55-60, which I instantly make tighter most of the time. Its 7 handed obv.
He min raises in the HJ, we are in the CO with ad1 Qh. He has us covered, but is himself only around 20x deep.
Can I really range him up so tightly on prejudices and nit fold pre bubble?
Do any of you actually ever flat here with position, and play poker?
Do any of you ever 3bet anything less than a ship?
AMRN:
Never flatting - it brings the blinds into the hand too often (and possibly the button too), and we"re 4/5 way to the flop, having invested 2/15ths of our stack.
3bet is never anything other than a ship.
Ranging is difficult with zero reads, other than age prejudice.
If you need to min cash, fold. If you"re playing for the win, shove.
I would have to be very needy for a min cash to fold here though - this is such a good hand to shove with, and know that he may call with worse Aces.
WYoung83:
I would shove all day long with 15 bbs with such a wide range in this spot. AQo is obviously way better than i would need.
Zozzy:
Fold
I would rather be first in the pot with QJ than shoving with AQ after a min raise with zero fold equity.

Zero fold equity? We have 15bb in a live game, not 5.
Shippety ship unless the spidey-senses tell you to fold. Don"t peel.
Wouldn"t be shoving a whole lot wider though I don"t think
