$10 buy in, 90 left out of 590, 63 are paid. Average stack is around 9000. No reads as I was studying at the same time.

Re: Tough spot with AQ preflop
 

i'd fold it pretty quick - its an ok hand to raise with not to call. he could easily be making an isolation raise with AK. If he has a pocket pair you need to catch - if an ace comes you are committed but may be behind. And you are getting the button next and not too short stacked - no real reason to play this hand.
