I have to have an excellent read to cold call a raise with AQ. Many times, I will fold this to a re-raise if I am out of position. What hands do I beat if someone is re-raising me? At best, I'm 50/50 against an underpair or I'm in big trouble against AA, KK, QQ or AK. I have to know villain will re-raise with KQ or worse before I hang around.

My experience is that I win many small pots with AQ and lose monster pots. In my PT stats, AQ is not in my top 10 most profitable hands, it trails all PPs, AK and strangely AJ and AT (probably because I play those hands more correctly).
