I really dont like how I played any street here. First off pre flop, do you fold, call, or raise? Folding here seems really weak tight, but I dont like calling either. If you reraise, how much do you reraise for?

On the flop do you fold to this weak of a bet?

Rest of the hand was complete carp, so please help me out.

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

call prefop.
fold flop.
standard

I think calling preflop is ok. Folding is ok too. I would fold AQo against a raise level 1. The flop call sucks IMO. Either fold or raise to see where you're at. If you raise, fold if he doesn't give up right away.

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.

I probably take a flop if it's suited, but you aren't losing anything by folding. If you're going to continue with this hand you'd better be raising the flop (or turn if you think that's more effective), but this is probably too cutesy for the 22s. I'd probably muck it.

Make it 150-175. No need to go crazy. If he's got nothing, he'll go away. But usually I fold.

Preflop: Usually fold; you need a real good reason to play here and it's quite read dependant.

Flop: You have nothing, so why call? Usually fold, but you can raise on rare occasions if you think Villian missed and is bluffing.

Turn: Now you REALLY have nothing - FOLD!

River: You played this street fine.

To an UTG raiser, I'm usually folding this preflop. I'd call if I knew I was going to see a multi-way pot, so I knew I'd get paid if I hit my flop hard. However, you're the first to call, so I'd fold.
