In hindsight I think I should have 4 bet with AQs but when I was instashoved on flop by CO; I figured it was either a draw or another Qx holding that I beat. My thinking was that was that if it was a set, villain slowplay to keep players in the pot. With top top here, do you 100% of the time protect?

Runner runner quads was so sick

In general don't donkbet unless you have a very good thought out donkbetting strategy so it's played fine.

Also calling a 3b is fine with AQs and use AQo as a 4bet bluff

I think pre, I like 3betting this hand. Although the iso raise is fairly large, I think your hand is definitely good enough to 3bet for value, and being in the SB, you don't want to over do the calling. So, I can get behind a low frequency call, but I think you should mainly be 3betting.

Seen as the SPR is so low vs this particular villain, as the pf aggressor has folded, and as there are no possible straights or flushes, there is no way you can fold here I don't think, so flop is a snap call for me (just don't click it too quick, you do want the BB to come along for the ride).

Oh yeah def 3b, thought this was vs a 3bet but it was an iso raise.

When I started cash games I used the ranges of GTOWizard free and still use them as my guideline. Choose 50nl and be a little bit tighter at lower stakes because of the rake. AQs is a 3b from and to all positions
