How should I be playing AQs here? Should I make a go-n-go on any flop?

Also, what if I have AQ/AJs/AJ here, how should I be playing these?

your raise to 520 is a "4 bet". My standard is to 4bet shove allin w/ AQ. AJ my standard is to flat his 3bet at 70ish bb

AQs=AQo, AJs=AJo imo. w AQ 4bet/calling is fine, w AJ I'd flat his 3bet unless he's a monkey. If he flats the 4bet, just jam (or call a jam) on any flop

AQs is 45.885% to JJ
AQo is 43.077% to JJ

AQs =! AQo

Suited = 2.8%. Enough to sway a decision.

4 betting to 520, is fine. It gives people chances to shove all in with A7 like hands.

WP Sir

I like the 4 bet, if you jam I think you are going to fold out 'some' hands that would shove light on us if we just 4 bet.

The villain will never fold a hand that crushes you (AK or QQ+) so we want to take the weakest-looking 4-bet line to get hands we beat to stay in. I think shoving looks weaker than 4-betting smaller, so just shove.

Hello mdamsgaard,

I think, you played it well.

You have to 4bet here, unless you have a lot of history with villain and know he's 3betting very very tight, but I doubt that's the case.
