$100nl 6max - Folding Top Two in Multiway Pot
NOTE: This is somewhat wordy and I apologize for that, I just had a lot running through my head at the time
So my BR is nearing $2k and Ive decided to take some shots at good [non-monster] $100nl tables. If move up and the play has been horrible but I had been hit with incredibly shitty variance. Anyways leading up to this I had just lost a big pot [~60BBs] in a blind battle with KK vs. 53 [raised preflop, bet flop he hit pair of 3 w/ OESD, made trips on the river] and then another big hand where the board essentially killed any value my hand had and thats just the sort of session its been. So anyways, I was feeling pretty shitty about this move up and wasnt sure if I let it get to me on this hand or not. I knew my play was going to be affected by my attitude so this was the last orbit I was going to play.
Anyways, enough about that. The preflop raiser opens very light and folds way too often on the flop so I pick up AQs on the button and 3bet. The BB then smoothcalled the 3bet, and the raiser called as well. I wasnt worried much about the raise, but the BB had me worried.
His stats were 26/3.7/0.55 so I didnt think he was calling this raise too light and if he was hed fold if he missed. The flop comes AQ9 and its checked to me, I hit top two and pot it, they both call. Now Im worried about both, I think there is atleast one ace out there and a set is a possibility. The turn brings a blank and the BB suddenly leads for half the pot [I dont even have enough to make a full raise over this], UTG folds and action is on me.
First instict was "push you have 2 pair, are way down this session and this hand will completely turn things around." Then I stopped to actually think about what he could have here and I thought I was going to be up against a set way to often to make this profitable. He is very passive, had he checked I would have pushed and thought Id be ahead enough to make it profitable, but with him suddenly betting after Ive shown so much strength and he is typically passive I dont think I can call here. AA or QQ both make sense, and 99 I guess is a possibility, but I doubt it, the only other option really is AK but would a player this passive play AK this hard?
Anyways sorry this was so longwinded, but really this hand made me incredibly frustrated as I didnt want to think I just laid down the best hand in a big pot to end a losing session. So is this a call or a fold? Please explain your reasoning for whatever you say. Im basically expecting to hear that this was absolutely horrible, so dont hold back.
