I don't think HOH contradicts you on the AQo scenario anyway.

i'm sorry if i came off as trying to advice a too cookie cutter type strategy there, and i know you've had WAY more big cashes than me... so i'm interested to learn what a better player than myself thinks about in these spots. personally i find that M is much more important here, not in blindly using it, but rather usinig it to determine the odds you're laying to pick up the pot. i mean with an M of only 5 and a strong hand like AQ it seems like either adding 20% to your stack almost always and being about 2:1 if called (very tight game), or adding 20% a decent amount and usually being even money or better if called (looser game) is often a good result.
on the other hand if your M were 10, you could much more afford to make a normal raise and then decide what to do the rest of the hand depending on what played out. laying 9:1 to pick up the pot is a WHOLE lot different than laying 4:1.
