Strange line that everyone hates

why not just lead flop?

I agree with leading the flop... What would your lines be if you had 88 preflop in the SB instead of AQo.. Would you be more apt to raise and fold to a re-raise? Or call for set odds?

I hate this line unless the villain is stupid enough to call this hand with QJ, KQ, etc... It's very likely that he was donkish enough to have a 7 on the flop and he'll look you up instantly if he's beating you.

I did say that he was bad enough to call my all in with QJ. Thats the whole point. He probably doesnt have a 7.
He'll call with a decent Q and if I let him bet his possible decent Q, then the other guy might still call with a flush draw even if I check raise all in because the pot will be HUGE. I guess thats not horribe for me since he will miss most times, but still, the pot is big enough now to just open push and take it down....or have the KQ / QJ dominated.
