To be clear, I'm talking about
after being ck-raised, and when it's all tallied up, it probably doesn't matter since both AA and AQ likely do better EV wise as a fold. But my thoughts are...
...Pot equity wise, AQss naturally trails AA even after removal, but what isn't immediately accounted for is how hard AQ impacts Vs
calling range compared to AA. So now, with fewer calls available (KQ, QT), 3 fewer value combos (QQ, QJ), and a few more available bluff combos (AT), V now has more raise/folds than calls - which is a good thing if thinking about stacking off on the flop.
