Man, against 7 opponents, the flop line is pretty difficult. I don't bet here, and if I do, I bet way more than 90.

I think I check and see what action develops.

After 5 people fold and a blank turn comes, I doubt I can keep my chips away from the middle.

I play the UB and stars big stack SNG's and If I can escape with more than 1,000 chips and things look bad then I fold.

Things look bad ?? Well maybe, curious as to what the others think. I might fold this. More betting to come, unless you reraise you end up losing the initiative and/or all of your chips. Close but this early I like to outplay them post flop. This guy is not being out played, get away from him and wait.

I would be more comfortable with this flop if i had raised pre-flop.

Big cards do not play well in multi-pots (altho you were not to know how many people were gonna see the flop).

i would normally raise it up PF if i was in LP at this early stage - AQ in EP against a full table is not a hand that stands up well to a reraise - therefore my thinking was - if i'm going to fold to a reraise then i might as well get in cheap and see what happens. who knew i had a table full of drawers behind me. so whilea raise certainly would have defined my hand better i am not sure it would have gotten me anywhere.

Preflop limp is fine.

On the flop, I bet a little more.

On the turn, I slow down. I like the check/value call here. I want to see what my opponent does when I don't bet. I want more info before I go to the felt.
