AdQd with two diamonds already mucked

[DrewOnTilt]

Typical loose low limit live $4-$8 game.
I'm the small blind with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Three callers limp in ahead of me.

One player who folds ahead of me accidentally reveals his hand, the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

How should the fact that I know that two diamonds are dead affect how I play this hand preflop? Should I limp, or should I raise anyway?

In other words, does the fact that two diamonds are dead diminish the value of AQs from early position against 4 random hands (3 limpers plus the BB) to the point where I should not raise with it?

I would treat it as if it was AQo that point.
