AQ just pretty much sucks. it's good if a Q flops though

In NL 6max, how true is this? It seems like the classic "too good to fold, too bad to play strong, what flop do I really like?" hand. I mean, if I decide to be a pussy, I can always play JJ/TT for set value. Nitty, but certainly profitable, I imagine. But AQ, wtf?
