$16: AQ early

[Finnisher]

No reads. I suck at raising AQ pf. Bigger bet on turn and wtf is going on on the river?

I raise preflop and bet every street.

[mnlgrind]

limp pf is fine and I also call co's raise pf, flop ~130.

Bigger bet on the turn, he might have a PP over 8. or a8

[Finnisher]

Ya, actually he had KK and I'm just results oriented. betbetbet.

I think the hand plays differently if you raise preflop.

[Longy]

Raise pf (though limping is ok), bet flop, as played t120 on turn, check call river.

as played i don't see how you can not bet the river and give 99-JJ/ random Qs / ace high a free showdown.

I like raising this pf for this reason, you get a better handle on what you're up against. If he re-raises you know you're in trouble.. if he calls, you know to be cautious. After the limp/call he's got a huge range and you're in trouble on the flop... luckily he seems rather timid.

I like your post flop line. But I would open raise preflop. I usually fold AQ pf when I am raised... early in a tourney.

[dawade]

I've called with this hand before and I've raised with it as well.

Either way, I'm more in favor of raising preflop, but that's only because I want to be the aggressor when I'm playing a hand OOP.

Flop: Please bet.
Turn: Good job of betting something.
River: Sucks, but have to call, IMO.
