This is why I don't raise AQo UTG in the early levels.

Fold, btw.

Against a super tight player, I can't imagine that his reraising range is broader than AA-JJ, AK. I'm not too excited about taking AQ up against this range, since it's going to cost me a lot of chips when I'm wrong and probably not get me too many when I'm right. So I think this is a fold. However, I'll disagree with tigerite and say that it's good that you raised this precisely because it's allowed you to play this well against a tight opponent, assuming your plan isn't limp-folding PF. It would be considerably more expensive to take a flop after limp-calling, hit and still get blown off the hand.

9-handed, so this is essentially utg+1. still limping?

Yes. I may even fold it, depends on my mood.

i folded after about 3 seconds. maybe not an interesting hand after all, except the first action.

anyone else think limping or folding is better than raising? this is a 33, btw.

This is a limp or fold for me too. I don't raise AQo UTG until 8 handed or less.

If you limp you can just fold to the raise pre-flop, and you've lost less chips. I don't think AQo is a raising hand in this spot. I'd probably limp and fold to a riase.

I'm pretty solidly in the raising camp, but on the other hand, I play at Stars so I have a deeper stack, which means that a) I'm risking less if I have to fold PF after raising, b) it's usually not too hard to get away from TP hands where it looks like I might have kicker problems with a workable stack remaining. I'm also used to players who will play hands that AQ dominates and will pay off when we both hit the pair.

Depends on the table. Fold if I expect a raise behind me, Limp if I don't.

I definitely raise here because it helps define my hand. If i get reraised then i fold. But if I limp early and the world limps with me, i won't know where i'm at on the flop if somebody starts playing back at me.
