What if villian raised from utg or utg+1 would you still call with AQo?

I've been checking the flop in these spots a lot and then picking off double barrel bluffs later. Plus they're so much more likely to stack off with a hand like Ax after you've checked the flop. I'm not saying that betting the flop is bad... I'm just saying that checking the flop has been working real well for me, and then betting the turn/river if I'm checked to. Also you get paid by pocket pairs that way.

i would fold aqo to a raise this early. maybe open raise late but not very often

I don't call raises with AQ at 6.50s against unknowns. I don't like getting in marginal situations early in a sng. Here should be your thought process if you call pf:

1. Villain raised from cutoff so his range could be pretty wide.
2. If I call and flop tp I'm getting it in.

wow i really don't like that at all, even if he's raising utg - you've got the added bonus that you're suited so you can beat him other ways than flopping a pair or 2 pair or w/e. plus IT'S A MINRAISE so if we were limping anyway we might as well go ahead and see a flop IN POSITION with a very strong hand. i think folding this here is WAY too nitty.
