What do you do in this spot?
Would you raise this early with AQ, in position and checked to?

if you had more chips I would just call, but you may as well just put them in now. I might just shove over pre flop if you're playing the hand.

Easy fold preflop for me with the re-raise. AQ is too easily dominated for me to continue here, and I don't like shoving over because with that action opp shows you QQ+, AK too often.

As played, that's about the best flop you can expect (because you're ahead of AK), get your chips in.

Your initial raise is fine, but I get out after the reraise.

At the higher levels I may get out, but at the $3.40 level I am ok with the pre-flop call.

As for the flop I probably shove over here
