I had an overwhelming desire to really want to choke the the SB here. His VP$IP was almost 44. I generally consider calling 2 bets back to me the same as cold calling a PF bet. I'm probably being more results orientated here but was this weak or generally correct strategy?

Wow, I think that is a horrendous fold preflop 6-max, particularly if they guy who capped is loose. I will defer to others if they come in and say it is all right, but yikes imo.

I think I may have had the table I was playing at it in mind when I first commnted, where this would be horrendous. I still think it is pretty bad with a player that loose, but you didn't say how agro he was, so maybe he was passive enough that the raise meant something.

I still would hardly ever fold this when I had already put a BB in, but YMMV, and it is defensible.

Meh., This is a marginal spot indeed. I folded AJ here earlier today in this exact spot and ended up against AK and QQ. However, AQ is a bit of a better hand, so the decision between calling and folding is closer...however with a 44%er pullin this shit, id be much more inclined to call, as mizors like this will pull this shit with something like 44 or AT.

What are the PFR numbers for these guys? That's probably the most important thing to look at in making this decision.
