Would you fold preflop?
Would you raise the flop?
Would you lead the turn?

I played this horribly, and would like some suggestions on how you'd play it.

[Albert Moulton]

Fold AQo in the BB to a raise preflop unless you think it is most likely the best hand because the raiser is a super LAG preflop. In that case, reraise big enough to make him fold most of his junk hands, and give up if you get reraised preflop or don't win with cb on the flop.

I'd fold preflop.

As played, c/c then c/f is not good. Either donk bet or c/r the flop and give up after THAT if villain shows more strength. I'd be inclined to donk bet if I flopped TPTK and had to play oop because I didn't fold preflop.

I would donk the flop.

As played turn is probably a fold.

I woul reraise or fold preflop. I basically think just like Albert.

[twoblacknines]

call flop..donk turn.

also like repopping preflop depending on raiser.

[KurtSF]

I think any or fold, call, or raise is good prelop. Against a decent player I would just fold.

You need to put a raise in here somewhere with TPTK. I like call flop donk turn.

[Cry Me A River]

Yes, calling flop and donking turn is a very powerful move and may get villain to fold some hands that are beating you, particularly if he's weak-tight (reads?). However so is donking flop. I think both are good plans. You're ahead here quite often anyway.

Also depends if you have any read on how often villain double-barrels with missed overs (AK/AJ) or something like AT/TJ.

Preflop I don't like calling raises with AQo, I usually fold or 3-bet depending on villain. Readless I'm probably just dumping.

congratulations on getting 3rd is the $1000 million awhile back. fold preflop.
