No preflop raise even on the bb with AQ
I think there are a lot of things i would have done differently on this hand, including folding to the raise/reraise behind me and raising preflop from the bb.
Still, i dont think i can put the draw to the nut flush down here for what could potentially be such a massive pot.
I dont think i have 5 outs here im thinking seven (two pair/set vs made flush vs your draw to the nut flush)
So while i dont like this play i think i make it anyway looking for the win on a massive pot.
Probably i should be saying put it down on the flop but i dont think i can really say that with much conviction...

If it was HU I say your play is fine, but vs 2 opponents who is both hammering its time to fold without a very solid read. They aint letting go and both are scared of the turn card, so set/2p or a weak flush is my guess. And since they are 2, assuming one has the weak flush aint wrong.

The only time that I see you getting a slight +EV is if both is holding the 2 pair. It aint worth the risk.

andr3w33ww3-

just curious to know a little more about your perception of AQ in 6MAX in general. personally, i like to reraise that sucker from just about anywhere at anytime and raise it from SB/BB if it's limped to me like that. of course that is a generalization, but that's what i'm asking: what is your general approach to AQ in 6MAX? AQ is one of those hands that you want to limp with in full ring, but it gets a bump to the 'reraiseable' category in shorthanded games. had you done it there for like a $12 raise, you probably wouldn't have run into a troublesome flop (or a flop at all, for that matter).

meh...

I raise preflop.
I also raise on the flop and if someone reraises me and then it gets re-re-raised I lay it down.

I mix it up from the blinds and from other positions. Sometimes I'll just call/limp in sometimes I'll reraise with it. It varies. Same thing with AK. Similar situation with AJ in ep shorthanded. I'll raise about 50% and just limp in 50%.
