Limp/fold AQ/AQs

Open fold AJ + AT.

Re: How do you play these hands UTG in level 1?
 
I usually fold all here except AQs, and I fold that here often as well. I don't like limping UTG at a full table, so if I'm gonna play the hand (AQs is the only one I'd play) I open it for a 3-5x raise. If reraised big I insta-fold.

EDIT - Seeing your other post about 22-77 I'll limp those this early sometimes, not all the time however. So I just contradicted myself about limping in. For some reason I limp 22-77 here but not AQs...I don't know why, it's just how I do it.

Limp/call this time (as long as the raise isn't more than to t50 or so...)

I limp AQ/AQs myself... I don't see what's the point of raising with AQs. You're gonna get called/reraised out of position with hands that are coinflips or beat you. Maybe you've got an explanation for it?

Eh, no reasoning for it really besides that I don't like AQs in huge multiway pots. I guess I'm hoping to thin the field a little and hope to outplay postflop. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I really haven't thought about why I do it like this and actually will watch how I play AQs preflop UTG in lvl 1 more closely. It might be another one of those hands I fold preflop. I guess I could've looked at it in PT before I posted.
