How do you play this? Pretty solid hand, but not a lock.

How do you extract the most here with so many seeing the flop?

I just make a normal sized bet here of about 50 chips. I'd check if there was no ace on flop.

...Hero follows curtains's advice and prays to the Poker Gods to get raised.

Don't worry I'm also ready to put all my chips in here.

about nothing could stop me from getting my whole stack in there on this flop. i would bet around 65, cuz i like stupid numbers, and then push to a raise. holla

Id do the same too.

Trouble is if in the unlikely event we end up all-in with someone else on the flop we're the underdog.

pre flop:

limp > raise > fold

i don't think so. AQ can put you in a lot of trouble if you do not protect, especially early on with lots of limpers. You are either going to win a small pot or lose a big one.

Protect your hand and be agressive. The pot you will win will be slightly bigger, and you will not be beaten so easily.
