Re: For MikeGuz old AQ thread

Mitch,
Not sure what to make out of the post but enjoyed reading it. AQ is the same sort of hand as JJ - I tend to play semi agressive and semi tight. Hell the other day I was in a live tournament with thie guy on my left who raised with all kind of stuff but Just called UTG maniac small raised checked to me I fold AQ limper on my left raised all in with KK - I just knew he had this monster and the maniac had some suited rags. All I lost here was my bb. But I had a good read on this guy and acted on it.
Any way thanks for posting the archive.

What I learned from the thread is that AQo with deep stacks and out of position is tricky. It is similar to AQo in a cash NL game. If the people behind you play poorly and will play Ax and go too far with it AQo is a great hand. But if the people behind you play well they are mostly going to be folding worse hands, and reraising better hands. Also if they do just call they are not likely to pay you if when you hit. So that is why I am cautious with AQ in this spot.
