20+2 AQo hand

[mwgoblue]

Looking back, I should have folded pre-flop, but the pot was so big I couldn't resist. I don't like my flop play either, but I was really confused about how to play it. Dumping AQ preflop saves me this tough call, but whats my play once I'm in?

you have t725 after seeing the flop. t400 is in the pot, you push here after the initial raisor.

Ditto.

And you need to be reminded, fold preflop.

You know as tough as it is to do, a fold preflop is the safe and right approach. AQo is not my idea of a great multiway hand hahaha. Especially playing it from the small blind. I usually like to watch people beat the hell out of each other in those early 6 way pots for a solid raise. Now if I had 5s I would call. Just praying to hit a set and double up.

AQo is a trap hand, especially from the blinds. /fold

Fold preflop. You know that already.

With 5 people seeing the flop AQ it tough here. AK would be tough too. 725 is not a terrible amount of chips to be left with and neither is 650. I might call the 75; I'm not sure. I wouldn't raise. Too many people saw the flop for me to go bust in the first round with TP2K or even TPTK.
