I'm just a pitiful SSNLer trying to learn here - it would be helpful if you guys explained why you take the line of your choice.

Folding seems weak to me; AQo beats almost all of the hands button will position raise with. Calling seems OK but gives up initiative, which is bad because we are OOP. Raising seems best to me because we likely have the best hand, and there's a good chance of taking down all the dead money.
