Why no preflop raise??

I would've raised if the blinds were a bit higher relative to my stack. With so much wiggle room, however, I think AQ plays better in an unraised pot

I donīt think that AQo playes better in an unraised pot. By raising you get it heads up or pick up the blinds + the money already in the pot, which is pretty nice with AQo.

If I had raised preflop and the pot was heads up on the flop I would strongly overbet (all in?) the pot, since I will have the best hand 90% of the time. I donīt want anybody with a single heart to call.

Best regards
