Dan Harrington says it is often correct to call with a hand as weak as AQ if the BB was the one who raised. It is often a bluff.
In My experience this is almost always a pocket pair above the board. I figured I was looking at a medium pair from the TAgg, and most likely a draw from the BB. Since the BB only had to call $80 The pot was laying great odds for a flush.
My bet looks like just a standard continuation bet after an EP raise.
Given my read, I raised all in.
The TAgg showed AA and the BB QJ of clubs.
The AA held up for a big pot, and I went back into my wallet to start all over.
Although I lost this pot, I think the reraise is the correct play.
Now what if the action were the same and you held two red Jacks?
What about AK of clubs?
I would have probably folded each of these hands, because of the call from the BB. With JJ you could more often be dominated, and with AK, it is possible that a number of your outs are dead.
What do you think?
