Default Re: playing AQo too weak? (PP 10$ SnG NL)

First, after looking over teh hand history, I don't see why you folded? Unless I'm missing something you made the last large bet and everyone just called.

Now, assuming that in fact someone went allin after your large flop raise, I would almost certainly fold. You really are hoping at that point to be up against an Ace with a lower kicker, which does happen, and happens a lot. However I think 2 pair or a set are a bit more likely and it isn't worth risking your "tournament life" on a top pair hand given a lot of action.

If I had a strong read on the raiser (that i am presuming pushed you off the hand), then I would consider going all th way, but I would have to be pretty sure he would display that much strenght with 2nd pair, or Ace-no kicker.

Keep in mind what the action looks like to someone else. You raised preflop, raised a bettor + reraiser on the flop. If they're thinking about it, you have shown some significant strength and for them to go allin shows even more.
