AQo, standard yes?
 

Saturday night, everyone on Party is drunk. I am just double checking to make sure this is standard.

I am dealt AQo with Qs UTG+1.

Preflop: UTG limps, I raise, two callers, BB calls.
Standard.

Flop: As Q xs
BB leads, UTG calls, I call, rest fold.
Anyone raise here?

Turn: Ks
BB leads, UTG calls, I raise...
I have the nut flush redraw but I'm not sure if BB may have been leading a flush draw on the flop. Do I raise anyways?

I raise the flop but I think I just call the turn and raise the river if I hit the flush.

Re: AQo, standard yes?
 

If you raise the flop this hands plays differently. BB leading the turn could mean a variety of things, he could easily have A5o.

Re: AQo, standard yes?
 

If I were to raise the flop, what do I do on the turn? Bet and call a raise?

Waiting to raise the turn offers you more options. You can trap UTG for two BB, as well as force BB to define his hand. I think popping the flop could create problems later on as you fail to control the size of the pot.

I think i'd raise this flop, if they are drunk agressive you will build a big pot right there with top twopair with redraws to full/nutflush. This pot is also big enough for you to try to knock out possible opposition. It's a close call though.

Just raise the flop already!

Yes.

Raise the flop because you can't raise if a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] falls on the turn and you have multiple callers to the turn. You are also guaranteed that both players are calling a flop raise, but SB may not lead the turn again and BB may not call if he does. So you may not make up those lost bets.

Note here that your table description is that the players are drunk/terrible etc. Then your line is okay. In general though or "standard" as your subject asks, raising the flop is the play IMO.
