You standard raize 3xbb to 0.75$ AQ in mp.

Unknown reraises to 2$ from BB.

WHat do you do?

I called.

You don't connect. Pretty standard fold to 3.25$ lead, I suppose.

Main question about preflop action.

folding or 4-betting, in that order, are both much better than calling the 3-bet OOP.

I'm taking it 3-bet came from the blinds? What range did you assign to the villain? Had he a high 3-bet from the blinds? Had you been lose from the c/o? What was your plan post flop? Fit or fold only? What flop was you hoping to see that would assure you that you were ahead of the villain or had enough equity to continue? Weigh all of this up before you call & then fold to 1 bet!

Oh, sorry - corrected - yes, reraise came from BB.

Villain is unknown.

Can't shake off the feeling, that I had to fold. Or maybe I haven't big enough balls yet.

It's nothing to do with balls! Or their size!!!!!! What I was trying to get you to think about was the villain's tendencies, the villain's 3-bet range, the villain's requirement for c-betting the flop, & how your hand would fare on various flops & how you would continue if you missed or if you hit? Eg; you could flop an ace, he could have a better ace, a worse ace, 2 pair, a set, a fd, a sd, air, same if you flop a queen? When you folded you assumed the flop had hit the villain or he had a better hand to start with- iwc you were in trouble anyway! If you are unsure it's best to fold everything except premiums to a 3-bet until you have more of a plan?
