Passive AQs line?

[Pat Southern]

This is one of the first hands of the tournament, my image is probably pretty LAG because I raised the first hand on the button with QJs vs 2 limpers and proceeded to double up when I made a flush. No reads on anybody yet. When the PFR checks an A-high flop I'm a little concerned, I either have him crushed or I'm drawing slim. I figure I have MP2 beat, but if I raise and the PFR comes along then I pretty much have to get off the hand. My plan was to call the flop and turn from MP2 and bet the river if I hadn't heard from UTG+2. At what point in this hand should I have grown some balls and put in a raise? PF, flop, turn? Who folds to the minraise on the turn?

I'm alright with the PF call.. but on the flop i thin you have to bet out maybe check raise. There are too manyn people seeing the flop for you to play it this passivly.

Not really clear to me why you didn't bet the flop. You explained what your plan was, but not why. I'm a relative novice so I could easily be missing something, but this seems pretty straightforward.

Bet the flop or reraise preflop, with a min raise and so many callers you want to thin the field. Whether you thin the field preflop or postflop is irrelevant, but you cannot let so many people see the turn.
