Fold or call is good ?

I dont think either is bad. You are so deep and the pot is so bloated that I dont mind your all-in since you are suited and people shove light at this stake. However, player reads are very important and the guy who raises basically committing himself looks strong at this point…if you got him tagged as a tight player I dont mind a fold. AQ is not gold.

I would fold here. You already had someone attempt an isolation raise before you and that made him pot committed. At best you are in a race agianst two other opponents.

yeah it's definitely hard to re-iso here. There are still people left to act behind us as well. I definitely take the least variance spot possible and fold.

Something that I have learned painfully and have been reminded of a lot (ty Wein for that) is that in a multiway pot with players left to act AQs, AQo are not what you want to be looking at. I would get out of the hand. It is so tempting to play it, but I can assure you this is going to be -EV without some very specific knowledge in the long run. AQs is not a hand that I am going to re-iso with here (anymore laugh ) unless I have a very strong indication that the players behind me are super nits and the two who have already acted are nutjobs. Fold this bad boy and look for better spots.

— A side note, I think calling is a poor option, I would only flat here with something huge… KK, AA are the only two that come to my mind. AQ needs to be protected and likes to be heads up and to induce weaker Ace holdings to spaz and I think you are already at a disadvantage on that one.

Easy fold IMO with all that action.

I'd go ahead and fold here as well with players left behind to act…..a lot of times someone is going to have AK here and we are crushed.

this spot is a gamble anyway you look at it imo. You're hardly ever dominating here, often flipping, and dominated a decent amount of the time. You have to chips to gamble a little bit I dunno though I think fold here is best
