No great reads at the table yet, but I have stats on UTG+1 that indicated he raised too much preflop, but was more in line post flop.

Preflop: Rico is Button with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Rico calls, SB folds, BB calls.
Flop: (10.33 SB) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 folds, CO calls, Rico calls, BB calls.
Turn: (7.16 BB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Rico raises</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.
River: (13.16 BB) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG+1 folds, Rico calls.
Final Pot: 15.16 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 15.16 BB, between Rico and BB.</font>
I know preflop discussions are pretty dull, and I usually am very comfortable with my decisions, but here, I was torn between 3-betting and cold calling. I would have 3 bet with AQs, but for some reason, could not pull the trigger with AJs, so I cold called. (which I think is better than folding). How bad a mistake is this, if at all?
Of course, post flop play is open to debate as well.
