I can only think of a few spots where things turned out good for me with AQ in L1, though it may just be my bad play.

I will open raise AQ from EP unless I think the table is aggressive enough to reraise often. I'll usually fold it to a raise in front though.

I think that limping in EP with AQos, shows weakness, asks for other limpers (hard to play against unless you hit the ace,) and gets no additional information about your opponents.

That bing said - it is fold or bet. Sometimes I fold and sometimes I bet...

I limp in LP and 45/45/10 limp/fold/raise it from EP on L1. I don't really try to outplay my opponents in early levels. It's nice to get paid off by a weaker ace or queen.

Just lay down AQ early in a SNG from any position. With few expections ( being in BB, 6 limpers on Button), after a few thousand SNG's you will realize it's a -EV to even try to play this hand.
