AQ I think I\'m ahead here but I\'m a wuss
20+2 No reads. My thinking was even if I have a bigger ace if he has a 2 diamonds I'm only a small favorite. I guess this is why you don't play AQ out of position ( when will I learn).
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter Hero (t785) BB (t740) UTG (t625) UTG+1 (t1220) UTG+2 (t775) MP1 (t1100) MP2 (t380) MP3 (t980) CO (t775) Button (t620) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Re: AQ I think I\'m ahead here but I\'m a wuss
I think MP2 could have almost anything, given that he is the small stack. I've seen desperation bets like this all the time. What you want to do, I think, is keep UTG+1 out of the pot. When the betting gets back to you on the flop, I would go all-in.

Re: AQ I think I\'m ahead here but I\'m a wuss
Raise preflop!
I limp in EP because I haven't seen any action yet. There are too many limpers. It's hard to play this hand postflop (as you can see). Make a fairly large raise from the SB here. You have to fold on the flop only because of the other people left to act behind you. Otherwise you would call. If you raise preflop there probably wouldn't be people to act behind you. |

Re: AQ I think I\'m ahead here but I\'m a wuss
since you didn't raise preflop, they could really have any 2. my guess is that you are behind here. the reraise could be from somone wtih 2 pair, or a x, who thinks they have a better kicker. either way, i almost have to lay this down due to the misplayed preflop

Re: AQ I think I\'m ahead here but I\'m a wuss
Minimum 6xBB. I would be happy taking the pot right here. The less callers the better. Plan to bet 1/2 pot if I hit the flop. If I get flop caller start to get real tight.
The action indicates to me that no one has me dominated. If they are simply trying to limp raise this will give me the information I need. I'm interested in getting rid of these limpers and isolating that AJ maniac. I limp in EP only bcause I haven't seen action yet. |

Like I said, if you played the hand right you'd have more chips.
