LOL yeah, I think I'm the youngest member of this thread at 18 years old. It's tough for me to think that I've been playing for 3 years or so now.

So I start out suck a buyin. Make my way back up a buyin. Make a kind of a bad call on the river vs an aggrodonk that I check/called all the way down, and he hit the nuts on river.I build back up a little, and then this hand. I've been at the table 4 orbits, and this is the 5th time I've been 3bet.

Mark, I'm just wondering what your thought process here is. I hate 3-betting OOP with AQ and I hate it even more against an UTG raise. Also, it seems like BEST case scenario here is that you're up against a set. I know that it's easy to say with results out there, but it seems likely that you're beat, and you're not getting great odds to call the additional $300 considering that his range seems to have you pretty well crushed.

Um, mostly player dependant. Villian is a 34/29 regular I play with often at 3/6NL. (this was 2/4NL). His opening range is pretty wide there even utg. I never just call with AQo no matter what position I'm in. His calling range there is pretty wide in position as well.The flop is really horrible for me, because he either has me crushed as you say, and I can't get away from my hand, or I bet and he folds. Looking back, I almost think I should check/shove, instead of bet/call cause at least he can bluff something, although I dunno that he would. Honestly I'm not sure. Its a brutal spot cause I have such a sick hand, but it could very easily be drawing to 6 outs. If he has a set though, I'm a little less than 50/50 to win. Probably 45%ish. So I have to get my money in.Mark

Not going to read the whole thread, just wondering if anyone made significant gains towards the $200k goal?

No, but nobody really tried for that. But a bunch of people in the thread set smaller goals in did well. Since the thread started I know Zimmer and Teddy are both up at least least one level from where they were playing before and crushing.Mark
