It's hard to fold AQs before the flop in that situation.

Your hand is an exercise with dealing with reverse implied odds. That is, your chances of winning the pot were inversely proportional to how much money went into the pot after the flop. You were either a tiny favorite on the flop or a huge underdog, due to the combination of many players either flopping a set or making a draw later on. Calling in that spot is giving your money away.

I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS want a turn card that will make me happy and signify that I've improved at the expense of the others. In your hand, I believe that wasn't possible. That's another case for folding on the flop.

Because of this, you were guessing both on the flop and on the turn. I don't like guessing because it's possible to guess wrong. Folding on the flop means you give up chances at winning a small pot while it's still early without taking a big hit to your chip stack.

Now that's a damn good reply. Just what I wanted to hear. Thank you.
