Preflop strategy - AQs in CO vs BTN 3bet
How do you play AQs 100bb deep in CO after raising 2.5bb and BTN 3bet to around 7.5bb?

Ussually I am calling here. But value 4bet can be option if BU doesn't fold too much vs 4bet and more call vs 4bet than 5bet. So value 4bet is OK than BU call with weak range.
I think this is often true. Either they call a lot or fold a lot. If they mostly defend against a 20bb 4bet by 5betting 92bb to win 29bb their strategy is very flawed.
Against high folders we should probably 4bet more hands like KJo, KQo and AJo instead right?
Do we have to fold to a 5bet here with AQs? We need 40% equity to call.
Against this range we only have 35% equity.
Villains 5bet strategy has to look something like this to make AQs a 4bet/call-5bet hand.
Against high folder calling is the best.
Pot odds is 80/201.5=39% so vs 1st range you don't have enought pot odds. Consequently folding is right.
4 betting AQs would be making your 4 bet range more linear as it has 50,7% equity agianst reasonable calling range of:
100:AA,TT-77,AQs-ATs,KQs,JTs,T9s,50:JJ,66,AKs,A5s,QJs,98s,AKo.
Therefore I am calling unless the btn is 3 betting maniac - like 15%+ versus cu. I think deeper stacked like 200 bb it is viable option as 4 bet ranges will need more board coverage and playability then, but at 100bb with SPR around 2 on the flop polarizing our 4 bet range is the way to go in my opinion.
Yea works perfectly as a 3bet flat. you will dominate alot of his range given hes 3betting appropriately in this spot. Suited potential, high card hand, often easy to play oop with low spr.
