ummm im not trolling. i really try not to call raises preflop unless the player is totally spewy. just fold AQs here, its not that great of a hand to be calling an EP raise from MP.
i should rephrase instead of good enough to call good enough to 3bet make that if you want to play this or any hand take the lead in the pot. especially against one opponent. if you had a pocket pair or suited connector in late position with multiple other preflop callers then its correct to call. if the raiser was in MP and you were in LP i could see calling with AQs but still you should probably be 3betting too. but EP raise to 7x i would just let AQs go here. from my experience everything you described in your OP this seems like a losing call preflop.
and i don't expect to get 3bet by worse than AQ here but you are in MP so there are more players left behind who can 3bet when they do have AK, QQ+ so it should be a consideration. if theres 5 people left to act the chance that someone has one of those hands is around 10% i think so definitely not negligible.
and for the record i am a significant winner, i know what im doing and you should get better

The fact that this post is getting trashed is funny. This is so spot on it's not even funny. It's a preflop fold. 3betting is next best slightly -EV. Calling is the worst. Call range here is JJ+ and AKs/o, no need to balance a cold call range here with like idk A5s since get real this is 1/2 live.
