Default Re: 20/40 Live...Any good way to play AQ preflop here?

Yea I mean it would be bad to fold here imo, and I thought about this hand for a few minutes and I think theres valid arguments for the raise to 850 and the push but I believe that a push is the best move because:

it folds out small pairs which will often call and play a non ace or king flop (and sometimes a king flop but never an ace flop) but he'll most likely fold small pairs here. There's 450 or thereabouts in the pot already so when you put in your 360 its 810 and your push is 1400 more, therefore.. It's not like you need any more value, and I dislike a fold here so just put it in and try to take the pot now. Against a very laggy opponent I don't think a fold is the right play.
Also because of the value in the pot (ie the guy's getting about 1.6-1 to call he might even call with hands like AJ and KQs anyway with the idea of you have 77-TT here.

So yes - Shove.

EDIT: - of course it doesn't always fold out small pairs :P
And a flat call is horrible imo i prefer a fold.
