Why limp UTG preflop with AQo? IMO it's better either to raise or fold it.

Don't ever limp here! I can't stress enough how much I don't like it. You don't know if you are getting raised by ak or aj. You are out of position and without information and you have no iniative. I would rather fold preflop than be in this situation.

Once you limp you are priced into a call if someone raises but assuming reasonable stacks, no reads, no bsb play etc I don't like playing aq vs someone else's raise. If no one raises then you are looking at a multiway unraised pot and unless you flop broadway do you really want to go to the felt? Can you fold tptk when your opponents' ranges are likely to include tp2k?

It's hard to give good advice on the flop because I literally have no experience with this situation.

You're right. Push is better.

No I dont usually limp with AQ, this was one of the occasions where I did so for variance and because there was a person who quite often would punish limpers with a healthy raise, also there had been a few pushes with hands like JJ-88, but the players who did that where shortish at the time, but unsure wether they where willing to gamble it some more, didnt feel like flippin for my stack quite yet. However the raiser in question would mean, AK,AQ-Js, AA-TT. Would you act differently pf after he raised knowing this, push, reraise, fold?

The other limpers could have draws for flush and str8, and a set might be out there

My self I am torn 50/50 between push and fold, hence I post it
