Default Re: Thoughts on Playing A,Q

Yes - unless I'm in a position where pushing is the correct move, I almost open with 3X BB + 1 BB for every caller. I don't like the theory of opening with a bigger raise when I don't want a call because I think that's giving free information.

At least at the levels I'm playing (10 + 20), whenever someone opens with 5X or 6X BB, they almost always have pocket J's or 10's or something like A,J or A,Q.

In the posted hand, villian called my push with K,Q (one [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) and caught two runners to make the flush.

I wasn't bothered by the bad beat (for more than a minute or two), but just wanted some feedback on if I played the hand correctly.

I find A,Q to be a very difficult hand to play. If villian pushes post-flop, I think I lay this hand down. What is your play in that scenerio?

Oh yah, and thanks for the responses so far - I appreciate it.
