(5) AQs on the button

[clevernapkin]

my opinion is that the blinds are small here, and there is no reason to be calling two raises, albeit 1/15th of your chips. you really have no safe flop here besides Qxx, and even there you cant be sure of KK/AA

i think u fold this pre, but considering what you decided here i would go on to check/fold flop and turn

I kind of got trapped into playing this hand as I felt I needed to at least see the flop with that much invested. The flop comes and gives me a backdoor flush and a one sided straight draw which isnt that spectacular.
Once the queen rips on the turn I am still worried about a set. What would you do? Was it too early to play this hand?

do you really want to be risking chips with backdoor/gutshot draws? there is plenty of time to find more profitable situations
