What is AQ beating?
AQ is not beating AK, AJ, or AT.
Not beating AA, JJ or TT.
Not beating KQ or JT.
Only beating A9 or worse aces, KK, QQ, 99 or worse pairs, and KJ/KT/QJ/QT.
You can't be sure a Q helps you here, since it makes a 4 straight. And the Q of Diamonds might make someone a flush.
The best card you can get is a K, but that might split the pot, and if it is the K of Diamonds, someone might outdraw you.
The next best card is an Ace, but that assumes no one has AK, AJ or AT.
Very tough board for AQ. I'd have to damn sure about my read of the UTG minraiser. Even then, the other caller likely has diamonds at the least.
