AQ late in tourney question

[elfleader]

this is in a sunday party 200 buyin tourney with about 94 left. I have about 40k in chips with average around 30k. I am dealt aq in 3rd position with no reads on the players i do what??

[Chief911]

Raise 3xBB. Oh wait, we dont know what the blinds are. /images/graemlins/confused.gif So either raise 3xBB or if under 12 BB's or so, go all in.

This is easy and fun!

Next question.

[elfleader]

sorry the blinds are 1000/2000 i ended up folding...was that a completely horrible play?

[Chief911]

Yes.

Can you explain your justification for folding there?
