its not that im not able to do that move cause i got not enough time.
i just not see that this is a good move, in late position i would raise but not in early pos.
what would u do with AJ in this situation? limp?

Well look, if you don't see raising AQ from EP as a good move, then that's a TOTALLY different debate. I was responding to what you yourself said earlier in the thread:

ok good point
i do 10tabling and dont care about every little +ev situation

The above seems to very clearly grant that you believe raising AQ from EP is a slightly +EV situation that you forego because you're 10-tabling. Now you seem to be changing your story to say that you actually DON'T see AQ to be a +EV raise from EP early game. Since you've changed your position, the conversation changes drastically.

FWIW, I fold AJo from EP early in a SnG. AJs I limp. AQ, as I've said, I raise. There's value in the raise, plus it thins the field of low pocket pairs and other random cards that beat you, plus it disguises your bigger hands from the thinking players (ie - if you only EVER raise AK, QQ-AA from EP, the thinking players are going to be onto you and you're going to lose even more +EV situations down the line). Admittedly, this last point is minor.

I'd definitely raise AJo here as well, fwiw.

Re: ($22) Simple question. Please help
 

Given how the hand played out, anyone like checking the river? I think you are ahead most of the time (busted flush/straight draw, weaker queen) but I am not sure it is worth risking the rest of my stack to find out. If I had raised preflop, I would be a lot happier getting all the chips in but I may have just beening having a lot of bad 2 pair luck lately.
