Hmm ok

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (8 handed) converter

MP2 (t3010)
CO (t19050)
Button (t5202)
SB (t4011)
BB (t9245)
Hero (t18060)
UTG+1 (t3330)
MP1 (t16240)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero calls t600, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t600, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t2150) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???


I decideded to limp here for a few reasons (not sure if they are correct, but they exist). For one, i just wanted to mix it up, as i said i had been raising alot, so i kinda wanted this play to look as if i wanted to extract value with AA or something. The 2nd reason can be found in a post by Strassa awhile back. He stated that he often limps with AQ UTG, because it allows weaker aces to come along and play, where raising just pushes them out. So i mix it up and call.

On the flop, should i be worried about controlling pot size? I don't really understand the art of controlling the pot size, why one would want to do it, and how one should go about doing it. Anyway, it's probably standard, but whats a good flop line here?
