Re: Party .5/1: AQo in the SB
 

I seems that you could apply this exact same argument to justify completing w/ AK... would you do that?

I'm sure you are aware of this, but SSHE advises to raise AQo from the SB.

If you raise AQo in your position, it makes it easier to lead out on the flop than if you just complete. Again, you're raising for value here.

You have the 13th best hand preflop (based on pokerroom's EV) and you aren't raising because you're in the SB against three other limpers? I have a hard time understanding this, personally. Sure, you're out of position, but you probably have the best hand out of these limpers.

Because you can extract more money if you hit, less money if you miss. AQo vs 3 limpers needs top pair, if you don't you've wasted money. Once you have top pair, then start to charge them. You'll make more money.

I still think a raise from the SB is in order, if anything, you're +EV.
