AQo is very tough UTG, maybe just call and hope for a short handed flop, raising can get you into trouble, if there are 2 callers even, your equity drops, and you'r out of position.

You completely contradict yourself here. We shouldn't raise, since they might call and we're OOP in a multiway pot. So we limp, and pray that they don't limp also. The people who would have called our raise: will they call when we limp? What about the ones that wouldn't call a raise, but will limp?

Raising AQo UTG is completely standard. Knowing how to play it unimproved and out of position is the only prerequisite.

Flop: This flop isn't too bad for AQo, your overcard outs are probably still good. I would bet and raise semibluff, protect those overcard outs aggressively.

Protect our outs from what? Look, this *is* a bad flop for AQo: that's why advice is being sought. Q38 rainbow: that's a good flop for AQo. (unless you limped UTG, and let 33 follow suit).

There's nothing remotely semi about the recommended bet-raise bluff.

Turn: Bet out again, keep in mind you're drawing dead to a set, but you may get a hand like 55 to fold here.

River: when the flush card hits it's time to represent it, you may get someone who has a 9 or 7 to fold. Do not show the hand down, either re-raise or fold if it is raised back to you. If it is capped fold. If you get called you're toast, but that's the danger in AQo UTG.

This kind of advice is gonna get people burned. You're recommending doing crazy and expensive things in a small pot that we can only rarely pick up. Flailing around like a schizo with a chainsaw isn't going to win pots.

Also, you *really* can't represent the flush if you've bet-raised the flop and bet the turn. Honestly, there are a fair few words in your post, but the crib notes would read: "bet and raise, because they might fold." Thing is, they probably won't, and you're spewing a lot of chips to try to make them.
