Default Re: Party 22- Weak AQo play?

Yes, I think this is pretty weak. A lot of people are going to call you there with KQ or QJ; after you check the turn, especially since you limped preflop and nobody is going to give you credit for AQ here, it doesn't surprise me that somebody is going to try and take it away. The bet on the turn getting a caller is scary, but it's hard to say what he might be calling with.

I think I play this hand somewhat differently. You have enough chips that you can afford to raise this preflop. Make it 100 to go. Betting the flop is good, though I tend to prefer something slightly smaller than pot sized. I would fire again on the turn. Now if there's a raise and a caller after that, I start to get worried and will consider laying down. But I don't think there's anyway that somebody has put you on AQ and is raising into you feeling they need to beat that, because you just haven't played in a manner that represents AQ.
