#1: it depends on who is raising, the person who was raising was probably looser than me. and i have a hard time folding any 2 broadway cards when im on the button since i usually have pretty good postflop play, especially against the people at 25nl. i pretty much never ever fold AQ to a pfr at 25nl unless they are like 4% pfr. i play pretty loose...

#2: i thought i was still ahead, i was pretty sure his bet was a position bet w/ overs, and even if it wasn't i still had outs.

#3: if i have to open this hand in EP i always fold...ill probably limp behind with this 50% of the time. depends on how passive the table is. at higher stakes i probably wouldnt do this, but i feel superior to these players postflop so i like to see a lot of hands. i call the flop because its a weak bet, no one raised it, and i have pretty good position with 6 clean (i think) outs.
