Another AQ hand I am confused about

[Paddy]

I play AQ horribly. Was this a weak/tight fold? I feel like it might be, but not sure. No reads.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed)

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

Flop: (8 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB bets, Hero raises, UTG+1 3-bets, CO folds, SB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB bets, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls.

River: (10.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
SB bets, UTG+1 calls.

Final Pot: 12.50 BB

Thanks in advance.

anyone want to raise the turn?
this is a very draw heavy board and the turn doesn't complete any draws, and given the action on the flop the 6 most likely didn't make trips for anyone...i think you should raise the turn and fold to a 3bet...

A read sure would be nice on this hand.

Since you smoothcalled the flop and SB backed down, I'd like to raise the turn here. However, I'm afraid of an UTG+1 re-raise so I'd just call.

What I do know though is that I don't like the fold. You're 8.2 to 1 to hit an A or Q on the river (not to mention there's a good chance you don't need that A or Q).

Personally I would have capped the flop and the rest of the hand may have played differently (SB may not have bet the turn).

But overall yes, I think the hand was played a bit on the weak-tight side.

i'd cap the flop with TPTK vs a diamond draw.

raising the turn is a nice idea, if 3-bet you will be up against a hyper aggressive QJ or a 6 and can fold with impunity.

Folding isn't that great.

Thanks.

I instantly felt a little queasy when I hit the fold button, knowing full well I was probably seeing monsters under the bed, both on the flop and turn. To me, somebody obviously had 2 pair on the flop, and somebody obviously had a 6 on the turn. Weak weak, I know. I'm working on it.

Anyway, small blind was betting Jx, and UTG+1 took it down with Q5o. UTG+1 tured out to be a real maniac over the course of the session.
