SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop:(pot: 1.4 BB)Hero has A:heart: Q:diamond:

fold, fold, fold, fold, [color=red]SB raises to 3 BB[/color], [color=red]Hero raises to 10 BB[/color], [color=red]SB raises to 24 BB[/color], [color=red]Hero raises to 100 BB and is all-in[/color], SB calls 76 BB

Did I overplayed AQ in this spot.
I am playing hudless due to small sample or better said no sample on ppl at all.
And in general I have feeling ppl on stars are more agressive than elsewhere I played .
So I think 3b for value is ok, but once I got 4b I kinda paniced that I wont be able to pull this one thru postflop and jammed .
I guess I answere d my own question but still would like to hear some opinons on this.
Cheers

Yes you did, but don't worry everyone does when they start out.

As a general rule of thumb, regs never get in less than AK all in pre flop at the micros. The problem with getting AQ in pre flop is that you'll be against AK so often.

I still think your shove can be profitable in certain spots, but I'd only be jamming AQ if I had a read on the SB that they are 4betting a lot, then it makes sense to shove as their 4betting range is wide and we can win the dead money. Against an unknown I would take the passive line and fold.

THx Harvie .
Problem is that I am not exactly starting out :).
My problem tends to be that I put ppl more on bluff ranges/ draws than I do on value ranges.
So its easy for me to asign him 4b bluff range, even I know that 4betting is leaning towards value than to give him AA.

3 betting AQ for value BvB is good unless you know he's an aggro 4 bettor.

The problem is people won't call your 5 bet with anything but QQ+ AK almost always for 100bb. Micro 4 bet ranges are also super tight as a rule so you're not getting much in the way of fold equity either.

THx a lot .
Yes I guess some ppl never learn

Don't sweat it Sharky, as Harv says we've all been there. Watched some higher limit stuff where 3bet/4bet/Jam wars are so crazy that AQ becomes the nuts. Then you bring it down to our level and 3bet is 4% and stack off is QQ+ AK and get smashed up! Get some hand charts quicksmart. Weazel on here has done some great simple ones to play off for the micros, or just google some. Just make sure they are for the micros and from recently!
