No real reads on anyone, I've only been at the table for like 20 hands.

So lets start preflop. Do we like the raise with AQo in UTG+1? I know a lot of you might limp but in NL25 with uberdonks I like raising here.

Flop is a standard value bet, but with 3 others in the hand I probably should have just potted to cut drawing odds for the people in later positions.

Turn check seems ok to me since the Ts fills straight, flush, and a lot of two pair draws. I especially don't mind checking here since I have the nut flush and straight redraws (assuming the straight would be good).

I can only assume UTG is playing suited crap or filled his straight by the all in here, but it seemed really suspicious at the time....

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this line ok? I'm trying to get back into NL cash since limit bores the hell out of me, and sometimes I get crazy online since I can't see the other players to pick up reads.

Thanks a lot,
Steve
