In a 10 player table I think it´s a fold. Limping and calling is no good because you´ll find yourself OOP too often.

Agreed AQ is a hand that is often WA/WB and not something you want to be OOP with. AQs I'll raise or fold depending on how the table is playing, AQo I'm folding 90% of the time.

If you want to disguise your EP range do it with a small-mid pair or SC. They will miss completely or flop big against a caller and make for much easier decisions OOP.

In a live FR game, I fold AQo UTG every time.

Occasionally, if the game is passive and I can expect a 3- or 4-way unraised pot, then I'd limp with AQs with the intention of folding to a raise.

If you limp AQ in EP, then hit top pair in an unraised pot, generally bet the flop, check/call the turn, and bet the river. Occasionally check/call the flop and then lead the turn. Usually fold if you get too much resistance (i.e. a big flop raise or over-sized turn bet).

I have improved my live game win rate considerably by folding hands like AQo in EP instead of raising it (2/3 NL and 5/5 NL 9-handed). The main problem I find is that people call continuation bets light live more than they seem to do online.
