what did u think he had?
ur only in a tie with AQ and losing to any other high ace or KQ
fold turn imo
mb raise/fold flop if ur not sure bout his play

oh w8 nvm ur in position .. i d prolly raise the flop u dont beat much really here ... only thing u beat is prolly like AT Axshit so depending on how he goes on turn and river if he leads out turn i might concider folding if not i ll call it down to showdown

well what do you want us to say to make you feel better?

if you're flatting AQ pre and then thinking about folding it to tiny 1/2 pot sized bets, why not do yourself a favor, and fold AQ preflop. Or you can grow some balls and stop being scared of money.

i've played about 30k hands at NL10
but i usually flat AQ IP, will play dry A high board or Q high board
here i would have raised flop cuz his bet is so small
but pretty easy fold if he calls or RR

yah only way to play this is rr flop then give up, dont give him 3 streets of value when your beat everytime he doesnt have kk/qq, which is 80 percent of the time

you don't have to RR flop -.-, only retards will call with worse

I thought it was ok to just flat preflop with AQ in position..

fine

It is fine, some times its the most EV+ way to play, other times its better to raise or fold, depends on your opponent. Anyway, my point is, you should know HOW you're going to play it postflop given your preflop choices. If you don't have a plan for your hand throughout all streets, just fold it instead of randomly spewing and making on-the-spot decisions.
