Also, AQs is a solid multiway hand...you don't always want/need to be heads up with good hands.

I limp AQs this early, I fold AQo, unless in the SB then I'll complete.

Against the donkbox calling station at these limits i dont think you want to gamble preflop in the early stages. You can use your postflop skills to take their chips by playing ABC poker.

Risk/reward ratio? 1500 to win 150? Hmm sounds like a sweet deal to me. Why not try and get a good flop and actually win some chips. 150 does nothing for me here with 1500 stacks really. Party sng is different too though cause 150 seems to be a much bigger difference.

thank you all for your responses but i do still think its a +cEV push because no one and i mean almost literally no one will limp with AA/KK/QQ/AK so getting called by any other hand is either a coinflip or im way out in front when i do get called. otherwise im simply picking up t150, i understand itd be a better play later on with higher blinds but why not push it here? anyone care to do a structured hand analysis like harrington does in vol 2 of HOH to see whether its +EV overall...
itd be really helpful, otherwise i think its a great play for the lower limits
