knew you'd be horrified Flushie.

Even I'll usually raise but I'd be much more likely to pass to any heat that you.

AJ, A10 are usually in the muck unless it's a particularly tight table and I might get a flop for a limp.

AQ should be passed UTG unless the table is very tight..people from late position can call ur raise and u never know where u r on flop as no information from them  unless it comes a monster for u.

[AdamM]

you cant make statements of fact like that about hands.

people have different styles and so have different 'correct plays' with different hands. 

for your style of play it may be right for AQ to get mucked UTG but for more aggressive players who raise 2/3 pots AQ is a big hand and probably warrants a raise. also particularly tight players might look to exploit their image by raising with it if they've been quiet.

[tantrum]

it all depends on the table and your image and who you are playing against tbh. There is no one way or the other to play any hand



if the table is tight you raise with any two, if they call most raises but are passive post-flop- you also raise, if you can read your opponents you raise as well, if you don't know what to do with AQ - folding is the best option -

[AlexMartin]

thats a shocking way to play out of position really. if you get flat called on the flop you don't know if theyre on a draw or just a pair. so then you'll probably check the turn unless you pair and give them an extra card to hit. you're never winning worthwhile pots with AQ early on UTG. until i'm under 20 BB i don't play it UTG. assuming i have average tournament chips.

you have to also remember early on people will often flat call with AK behind a raiser. you hit your ace. you bet. they raise. you think wheyyyy he's got a weaker ace theres no wayyyy i'm beat. but..yeah.. it's only AQ man.

 

muck this shite utg. only gets valuable short-handed, in position or late in the day.
