Default AQ UTG - simple question.

No HH - no reads - pretty new to table.
NL10 - I have $8

UTG - I raise in with 3Blinds (good? bad?)

all fold up to CO who has $18 and rerasies me another 4Blinds.

At this point, not knowing exactly what I'm getting into and knowing that I'm out of position I fold.

At this point I felt like a weenie!

Comments? AQ UTG - just how aggressive can you be!

I fold here too. Raise to 4BBs pf here but am open to the suggestion of 5BBs for being OOP.

Without history I'm going to assume a range of AK/JJ+(88+ maybe) which is going to leave me with tough decisions even when I hit A/Q on the flop.

You've posted way more than I have and probably have a better idea than I do though...

Reload too.

IN LIMIT!! LOL Still crawling out of the egg in NL!

My thought process was - WHAT if I hit my Ace. THEN WHAT! I'd rather hit my Q. or miss completely so I can fold!

You can probably fold this most of the time with no reads and don't feel bad about it. Keep an eye out though, some of these guys will min-raise with any two.

And always play with a full stack, it adds up if you miss out on a couple of blinds every time you stack someone.

Fold. When you hit an ace you'll either get no action or be beat by AK, so implied odds aren't great here. Also always keep a fullstack, and as a rule of thumb raise 4xBB + 1bb for every limper preflop.
