I think the biggest mistake here is not raising pre-flop. With three people in the hand and AQ out of position I think this has to be a re-raise, relating to some comments that I read I would be re-raising here 100% of the time, I don't think playing AQ out of position is great (obviously you play it, it's a monster) and so narrowing the field would be the ...

I would definitely raise PF to see where I am. If you dont raise you allow trash to see the flop and secondly you have no idea if your AQ is the strongest A. If you are re-raised you can tighten your villains range PF without second guessing OTF. That alone puts you in a tough spot OTF. I would much prefer to be re-raised and knowing where I am.

Depends on many factors. Like if you have any history on these players and how they play.
Personally I would have raised pre with that hand to at least get rid of any silly hands for the big blind. He could be sat there with 2 7 for all you know. But back to the actual question.

BY what you describe I would have to still put him on some sort of TT-QQ type of range that wants to avoid seeing high card flops and maximize on it's preflop equity.

The most important thing is that you should be aware of the fact that you cannot teach poker to someone who doesn't like the game. Yes, it's a great game and yes, I enjoy it very much. But, as much as it hurts, it doesn't mean that my friends should like it too. Judging by what I read, they don't seem to like it that much. So, before everything, make sure ...

I'm in exactly the same situation, down to every cruel aspect of it. It's actually quite amazing, something that people without knowledge of probability distributions would call a huge coincidence :D .
I think the problem in your approach is the fact that you throw a huge amount of information at them. Texas Hold'em (and poker in general) is a game with a ...

Should our hero call the all-in?
No. There are many arguments to this answer:
The guy came from the online world to the live play. He might be sloppy in handling the chips, but that doesn't make him a fish, until proven contrary, and he perhaps knows the Baluga theorem, which states that if you have TP and you get raised on the turn, you're likely ...

The biggest difference you'll notice right away is that live poker is much slower than online poker. The first time I played live, after playing a few years online, I was bored out of my mind because the pace was so slow. Fortunately, you'll adjust to it quickly!
