AQo from the button

No real reads. Mostly just loose passive.

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

I'm getting killed with AQo. I'm trying to raise it when I can shorten the field and just limping it when it looks like I've got 5 or 6 to the flop. So, that said, do you always raise this on the button? Until recently I would.

Flop: (6 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players) </font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds.


Turn: (5.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players) </font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

River: (11.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

3 bet too much?

All feedback appreciated.

Thanks.

I nearly always raise AQo. You've got a great hand, you've got position and you'd rather not give the blinds a free play. I can see the argument for limping/folding with AJo in LP after a bunch of limpers, but AQo is too strong I think.

Given the way you played it pre-flop, your post-flop play is fine. Looks like you lost to JT here? Bad break on the river, if so.

Raise pre-flop, a must. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Raise preflop. I haven't read the rest yet. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: The rest of the hand was perfect IMO. You were very unlucky.
