    I never fold this against an unknown. You raised with AQ and hit an A, so I don't see why you would fold. If you are going to fold now, you may as well have played the same way with 72.

    I call flop raise, check/call nearly all turns, and then check/re-evaluate river, depending on what he does and board texture.

    What value hands do you think he plays like this?

    The problem is that I don't have the tiniest clue what his range is and how he plays his range. Is he a reg? fish? Is he laggy? taggy? I only have 6 hands on him so it's really hard to answer your question. If any I'm actually looking for a default line in situations like this.
    An alternative question probably is, against an unknown, what default range are we putting him on once when villain takes this line?

    I agree calling the flop is best. My biggest problem in this hand is that I wasn't confident enough with my plan for turn and river. Thanks for validating my thoughts. c/c turn reevaluate riv is probably best. But then again I hate the "reevaluate" part since we could "probably" have avoided this if we knew villain's range (lots of rambling in this post).

    I agree that it's hard to give villain a range when he is unknown, but there are just not many hands that anyone calls with pre-flop that are now beating you.

    he doesn't know precisely what your range is either when you call.

    folding probably isn't really that bad of an idea though if he hasn't shown any form of aggression yet.
