Ok, so I feel I generally have a handle on this one, but I wasn't sure about this particular instance.

8-handed Party NL 100- I have roughly the buy-in. UTG+1 with AQo. UTG limps.

Q1: So I'm in the "limp AQ upfront" camp in general. For like-minded folks, how shorthanded do you want the game to be before bringing it in with a raise. 6-handed? 7?

UTG+2 (seems LAG, but no good read yet) makes it $10 to go.

Q2: Given his looser raising standars thus far, I'm planning to call if it stays 2 or 3-handed, even though I'm out of position on the raiser. Sound ok?

By the time it gets back to me, however, there have already been 4 callers- 1 LP, both blinds, and UTG.

Q3: Easy fold, right? Doesn't seem like I want to be building top pair in a 6-handed pot.

Hi muzungu,

Easy fold, and for exactly the right reason. Unsuited big cards don't tend to play well in big, multi-way pots. You will have to flop two pair or better to play confidently from out of position, and that's a 28:1 shot. Better to wait for a better hand, or better position.
