AQ in EP in the early levels.

[suited_ace]

In levels 1-3 I usually limp w/ AQ in EP, but I've been considering just mucking those, and my previous post made me think that mucking might be a better idea.

How do you play it?

FWIW, I'm playing the $55s now.

I'm still bumming around the $11s and light on experience, but I've made a few posts on AQ and from the feedback have adopted the following approach (lvls 1-3):

1) Muck from EP
2) Limp from MP
3) Limp behind 2+ limpers in LP, open raise/raise 1 limper 3-4BB

I've stopped getting into trouble playing AQ in big pots OOP; I think this approach treats AQ for what it's worth. Maybe it fails to optimize some of it's value, but it keeps you safe in the early levels. I've been successful so far.

Thoughts?

Looks like a good proposition to me.

I like it, but I usually limp AQs in level 1. The implied odds when we hit 2 pair or better are too good with the donks at the $10-20 levels.

Yeah, I do the same, I do usually fold AJs from EP though, just too marginal

I'm not playing AJ in the early levels at all.

I will play it with loads of limpers but with caution from the button or CO, that's about it.
