Is folding this a huge leak?
 

I'm starting to 8-9 table, so I've moved down to the 22s to practice. While adjusting to the amount of tables I'm playing, I find myself folding AQo from UTG and UTG+1 in the first level of play.


with no reads on people at the table, is folding AQ at a full table from EP a leak?

Not at all, imo, but what do i know?

I normally flat call early in a tourney, and just happily fold it to a big raise. Why get involved that early against god only knows what? I've found that early on you just can't push the fish around, and pushing hard with something like AQ just sets you up to get killed by some massive reraise you have to lay down, or someone lurking in the weeds with a big pocket pair. *If* I have a comfortable read on the table I might put in a fairly small raise just to get out people playing total crap, so when Q83 rainbow flops I can play it pretty comfortably.

in early/mid position, i usually fold. i don't like calling raises out of position. but in late position, i play much differently...

definitely not. in level one, i'd say i do it almost always from UTG, UTG+1.

I more or less always limp AQ in EP level 1.

I don't mind it 9 tabling. Trying to play it without good reads is probably -EV, but it's definitely +EV if you are paying attention.

seems extremely weak tight

I usually 3-4 table (Stars), and I'm pretty sure it's EV+ to play AQ even from UTG.
