Your earlier post (Making Moves in Level 3) hints that you are getting nervous of being 6-7BB getting to L4. I think playing the hand the way you did here will do exactly that.

I am not suggesting you made a poor play, only that you are headed in the direction you don't wish to go per your earlier post.

I play the 11s and play very conservatively L1-L3. And I too loath getting to L4 with 6-7BB, but I am folding this hand pre-flop in EP L2. I am only confident with a Q-low-low flop (excluding AQx of course), and am folding to any raise.

Considering your two posts together, I feel you trying to manufacture oportunities for yourself. I think that's -EV in the first three levels.

FWIW - I definitely make the L3 AQ move from the other post.
