Early game AQs, thought?
 

EDIT - Specifically what hands do we think villian has to go all-in with here?

Will Hill £30 ($50 or so) 10 person SnG. Only a few hands in and not paying much attention, table is generally loose/weak passive preflop but there have been a couple of uncalled all-ins so far post-flop. I've played one hand so far very fast and strong and took it down unseen on the flop. I doubt anyone remembers though.

jesus, is the euro really worth that much right now?

regardless, i typically limp with AQ in the first two levels, but it's probably a judgment call. if i were to raise, i'd raise what you raised.

if i'm going to check-call the flop (which I don't hate, doesn't hurt to mix it up), i'm doing it with the intentions of leading the turn (which needs to be a push).

incidentally, this hand is one of the reasons i don't really like raising AQ preflop in the first two levels. the pot gets so big that i don't think i can get away, pretty much ever, when an A flops because I don't have enough chips to gain enough information to fold.
