Default 60s, first level, everyone limps in front with AQo on CO

what's your line here with AQ. I don't have the hand history but basically everyone in front of me limped in and it was 2nd or 3rd hand of the tournaments, so no reads for most of the player. I ended up limp as well and folded to a 6x raise from button. Pretty frustrated for my play there but not sure if there is a better way to play it. Would you raise something like 6x, 7x here or maybe just fold and forget it?

There was once a similar hand posted and i advocated shoving (from the BB). Most ppl didnt agree with me...
But it was a lower level, where you could expect ppl to call with AJ and other crap. So i am still confident in my advice [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
I am still a fan of making a big raise like 160. If Button,sb or BB shove, you should puke and fold. Another reason to make this raise is to protect your monsters.

yeah i like a big raise too, 6x or 7x BB. if someone goes all in over the top i would probably fold, but im a scardy cat. More often than not you'll take down a decent pot right there.

Yo
I always just limp this and play carefully. I will also limp AK here most of the time now.

I am confused with AQ here, with AK or 10s+, I am raising 7x or so here. smaller pair, I limp for set value. weaker Ax, if not suited, I fold, suited I limp. But AQo or AQs really seem like a tough spot for me.

Uggh, I don't like a massive bet here. I don't play 60s but I really don't see often taking down this pot with a 120-140 bet. Then your stuck making a C-bet for like 275 when you miss. You can find much better hands that aren't so hard to keep control of.
