Default Re: Did I fold too tight AQ on QJ8?

Wow, I was just in a similar hand with ace/queen offsuit and got busted out of a tournament, and here's why. I didn't raise pre-flop and I let someone with queen/8 offsuit in to catch two pair. My lesson learned, raise with those good starting hands to get the crap ones out that can beat you, in your case queen/jack. I thought I was being tricky, and I ended up tricking myself. Great fold by the way. In my situation, I went against my read, and got busted, but you made the right call thinking that any 8 has got you, which is possible because of no raise, and the two other callers. So the better question is what are you going to do with ace/queen pre-flop to avoid this situation in the future?
