Fold preflop. Fold flop. I don't see calling any street.

Fold AQs?

What hand do you need here to play? Keep in mind this is a 22 and raisers range could easily be 55+, AT+, KQ, or even bigger.

This was an UTG raiser, and he could easily be raising there also with QQ, KK, AA, or AK. With blinds at 10/15, there's generally a better time to get my money in than against an UTG raiser with a potential trouble hand. I usually just let this one go.

Note: I'm also 8-tabling, so I don't have time to be cute and make great reads this early in the tournament.
