PRE-FLOP: Well, let me be the one to start the controversy here; I would most likely have folded the AQ offsuit pre-flop. I simply do not think there are many hands that are profitable long term from early postion, and as far as I am concerned, this is not one of them. I do not feel you are giving up too much by simply folding this hand preflop and not getting involved with it in early position. Obviously, depending on how the game is playing as well as my opponents in the game determines what exactly I do with this and any other hand. However, much more often than not, I avoid playing this hand in early position with regularity.

In regards to AQ offsuit, I do not think the game has to necessarily be that tough to fold this hand in early position. This is a hand that is definitely overrated by a large majority of holdem players; it is ESPECIALLY overrated in early position. It is very common for players to misplay or overplay this hand when the flop misses them, especially since they are usually first to act. When the hand does hit the flop, it can be tricky to truly maximize the value of the hand because of the likely lack of position and because the hand can be very vulnerable to a better holding.
