Well personally I would never in my wildest dreams raise to 75 from the BB with AQo. I have never done this in a situation like this since I started 8 tabling. Note that I check AKo here too most of the time. This is just my personal preference and I don't claim that it's the best way to play.

On the flop I'd check and fold of course.

[johnnybeef]

what do you do with aq and ak in this situation pf? it has been happening quite a bit lately and i think it is one of those loose ends that i would like to get tied up.

[curtains]

I told you I check and then play accordingly postflop.

[tigerite]

Damnit, you play too much like me, stop that! Actually sometimes I'll raise AKo here, but not AQo.

[johnnybeef]

i knew that.

I'm guessing this advice goes for BB and SB (check/complete pre-flop, check/fold on the flop if you miss).

Considering its lvl 1, same stacks:

How does your line change when there's a raise and you're in the SB/BB with AKo, AKs, AQo, AQs?

How does your line change when you're EP/MP with the same hands? Any difference in your play between having limpers behind you and opening this early in the game?

We all fold AJo/AJs EP, MP at lvl 1, right?
Perhaps open-raise with AJs from MP3 and later? no?

From other positions do you ever limp with AK or is that just from the blinds?

In level 1 I limp in EP as well. AK is a drawing hand and they're a bitch to play out of position. This is my personal opinion, but I'm sure others will disagree. A nice thing about limping this hand though is that people never give you credit for AK and you can stack off alot against kq, aj or aq. Often even worse depending on the buyin.

[1C5]

Yeah but 90% of the time at the 11s and 22s if someone has AQ I take their money if an A hits even with a nice rasie PF.
