Anyone here lead out with a cb, possibly delayed until the turn?

Ehh. I usually don't like to CB against 2 opponents unless I'm very sure that they will fold. I'd say a half pot CB on either the flop or the turn is acceptable. Checking down is also acceptable.

Just fold preflop.

I think you're way too tight, man. AQ is playable from any position unless you're facing a raise. It may be a difficult hand to play, but it's definately +EV to play it.

I probably would have bet a little more pre-flop. 75 sounds about right to me. Also, this may have narrowed you down to one caller making a CB bet on the flop more liely to succeed.

I would have CB on the flop into two opponents (but keep in mind I'm an agressive player). The check here works as well.

I definitely would have CB the turn though.

I've heard the idea of folding AQo preflop before, but it just seems too tight to me. For those of you with an adequate data set, is it + or - EV for you?

I would limp pf from early MP, AQo is nasty to play OOP on the flop.

Folding doesn't even enter my mind.

With no reads, crappy position and not that many chips, in a 22, AQo is disgusting at this level of the tournament.

I look at it this way. If he had a hand better than AQ, he would have raised unless he has a middle pair. Which means when you contination bet on the flop with overs to his MP, he has some serious thinking to do.

Folding AQ here is way too tight.

Full table with level one blinds I am chucking this
pre flop.

Different table dynamics then I am making a play.
