Someone suggested I limp UTG with AQ

I'd suggest it, too.

Limp it and fold to a raise. AQ is a trouble hand in NL that can quickly become a -EV hand for a lot of people, especially when they're raising it out of position or calling raises with it.

Try to win small pots with this hand.

I should add that in small stakes No Limit Hold'em, folding AQo UTG and UTG+1 in full ring is certainly not awful, and will likely save money for the majority of players.

Online, yes. But not in low buyin live games. At least not the $100 buyin at Commerce. A good post flop player is losing money by not limping with AQo in EP there. (With most tables; there are a few good players.)

You should fold, unless it's a minraise, which doesn't count as a raise. Those you should call.

If villain is a loose moron, you can reraise to try to isolate him.

In general, you should be folding AQo to stuff bigger than a min-raise, unless villain is a donkey that you want to reraise, in which case you should do that. Smooth calling with AQ is bad.

Why? Jeez, if I had AJs and it was limped to me I'd raise. If I had KQs I'd raise. If I had KJs I'd raise. If I had ATs I'd raise. Well, you get the point. Most players don't need AA,KK,QQ or AK to raise - lol.

You call, use the information. I'd only fold against a rock.

This only applies to a full table right? 6max AQ is a great hand. Or so i thought...

In 6-max, you should be raising AQo UTG every time, so it's not an issue.

Never limp whit AQ unbelivable even thinking about it .
If you are in first position.

It's not unbelievable at all.

Limping hands which make TPTK in EP is a very good way to disguise your hand when you do hit and get action from later players.

I limp AQo UTG as my default play in full ring and if nobody raises my default is often to check/raise a nice enough flop.
