As Collin Moshman say, "it depends". But with that being said there
are very 5️⃣ few normal situations, where its correct to fold AQ against a SB open jam. If
you play this tight, SB 5️⃣ can literally print money by jamming any two cards against you.
But rather than just saying "it depends", lets create 5️⃣ a scenario in ICMizer and see,
what kind of range we are actually supposed to call with.* Tournament 27 paid 5️⃣ on 888
Poker* 28 players left on 4 tables* Hero is BB with 15BB* Everyone else at Hero table
has 5️⃣ 20BB* Tournament average is 20BB but with a random distribution at the other
tables* It folds to SB, who jam 5️⃣ on HeroWith these variables SB is supposed to jam any
two cards, and Hero is supposed to call 17%. The 5️⃣ exact range is 55+, A8o+, KTo+, A5s+,
K9s, QJs. If Hero fold AQo, he is only defending 5,7% of the 5️⃣ time or around 1/3 as
often, as he should. We do want to consider the option though, that Villain might 5️⃣ not
be jamming 100%, as he is supposed to. But even if Villain is only jamming 50% and then
folding 5️⃣ or limping the other 50%, Hero is still supposed to call 88+, AJ+ and ATs. So
folding AQ would be 5️⃣ a very big deviation, which required a rather extreme read.
