Default 22- Cautious with AQ early

The turbos are too rigged, so I am choosing to torture myself more with 90 minute plus regulars that take forever to fill.

Does anyone bet or raise anywhere?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1480)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1480)
MP3 (t1940)
CO (t1560)
Button (t1080)
Hero (t1480)
BB (t1480)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, MP3 calls t20, CO calls t20, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, Hero calls t10, BB checks

too passive. Raise it preflop. If u call preflop at least check-raise the flop. But i think the worst thing is preflop.

yes!.

preflop: fold.
flop: lead for 100.
turn: I hate this spot, but I'd never be here. Maybe check/raise rather than check call.
river: value push.

Edit:
Hmm, maybe this is too agressive for a regular.

Insty, fold preflop getting 13:1 with AQ?

I probably lead the flop.

Once you check/call the flop, I probably check/call again on the turn.

River: You could lead out for 3/4 pot or so, but this seems like a good spot to checkraise all in for value.

Velocity, fold preflop getting 13:1 with [any 2 cards]?

Preflop:
Raising &gt; calling.
Folding &gt; calling.

I think it's close enough to Raising = Folding that it doesn't matter which you do.

If we could play perfectly postflop we should be calling with any 2, but we can't and will be OOP so I only call preflop with hands that are easy to extract chips with postflop. Hands like J4 or 85 we won't be able to get a lot of chips in good very often. I probably call (or raise) with most suited connectors, suited aces, pairs, ATo+, and good suited kings.

Listen to Velocity, I think his advice is better than mine here.

I'm a noob, but I would have played this much more aggressive. Lots of players in on the flop and turn, someone could easely be on a flush draw.
Play river more aggressive?

But I don't know about the $22s
