I played this sort of weird (and extremely passive, for me). I sort of like it, but at the same time I sort of hate it. Thus, I submit it for your ridicule/praise. Thoughts?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t720)
Hero (t915)
BB (t1180)
UTG (t655)
UTG+1 (t685)
MP1 (t1400)
MP2 (t1415)
MP3 (t930)
CO (t2100)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 raises to t60, 4 folds, Hero calls t45, BB calls t30.

Flop: (t180) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP1 bets t30, Hero calls t30, BB folds.

Turn: (t240) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets t100, Hero calls t100.

You're actually sooted....

That said, I think this is fine. I also bet this flop sometimes.

You already know that I'm uncomfortable playing AQo. I usually wouldn't play it after a raise preflop. And then a K high flop comes and he bets (I know his bet is incredibly stupid, but...). I'd definately just fold.

this is how i would've played it.

I just can't not say anything when quoting.

Now that I think about it, if you're going to play the flop, wouldn't it be better to raise? It really smells like a mid pair 99-JJ. And it looks like he's afraid of the K. Wouldn't it be better to raise the flop and represent the K instead of drawing out? I do think you're behind here, cause I can't think of any hand that he would raise preflop that you're ahead of here.

Looks fine to me.

Villian bets 30, hero raises to 120, villian pushes ...

or

villain bets 30, hero calls, turn A.

Something like that.

And I think hero knows he could very well be behind at this point, but he's getting 7:1 on his call.

Villian is not going to push without a K or better.
