Re: $16 - AQ early
i occasionally am tempted to play aq in ep early in the game--i usually regret it. You must be up against a very "special" player if they are reraising you with something you beat on that turn.

Re: $16 - AQ early
I open-limp or fold AQo from EP at level 2.
You need a pretty spectacular flop to be able to profitably play that hand OOP in a multi-way pot. If you must raise, just make it 3BB ... even though your bet is only t10 more, it a) ends up making a big difference on later streets (pot control), and b) looks weak. After the turn you've now managed to put close to half of your stack in, with little idea about what you're up against. Button's turn min-raise could be a number of different hand, but the only ones you're ahead of are the raw bluffs. Fold here. |

Re: $16 - AQ early
I limp most of the time, but raise occasionally to mix it up. I would say 80/20. Same with TT.
I bet 150 on the flop, but ok. Can`t fold turn, so NH. |

Re: $16 - AQ early
I limp pre, as played flop/turn is fine.
