Had no reads on villain as I had just decided to take a shot at the $27's (I run goot at 10/3/5 after 51 games) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Been studying at SNGIcons hence the AQ limp.
Was my turn bet too small?

The least you should do is call river [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i,ll call the river without question

Isn't this mess the reason you shouldn't be limping aq?

I think the turn bet is too small. I don't know if I would call the river, I think not.

Hi, I do not understand the reason for limping with AQ, could someone explain? To me it seems that you increase the chance of getting beaten whilst reducing the amount of chips u can win.

Preflop, I think you only have 2 viable options. Either raise t80 or so, or fold. If you raised you may have gotten the button to fold, you would have position, and wouldn't be in this predicament. Limping aqo is just going to get you in trouble, as players love to play any ace, and when they hit 2 pair with their ace-rag you'll be put in a tough spot.

As played, you're getting almost 2.8 to 1 on your $$$, and its not like you were making pot sized bets, so the pots not bloated out of control. I think the villain is probably either chasing a str8 (which he turned), or chasing a club flush which he missed, possibly with the Ac. I begrudgingly call here, and make a note on the villain's play.

yep maybe you could call preflop to an raiser-opener not a limper
