thanks for the advice everyone. while i dont have any hand histories, i have started making more continuation bets with this hand, after playing just as aggressively PF as a/k, and it seems to be working. i haven't really a strong aggressive/continuation betting style until the past few days, and its really helping me out. I guess I was kind of a loose/passive who liked to slowplay, but now I'm really seeing the benefits of betting for info, even when the flop comes T72 when im holding AQ. I'm pretty sure that was the problem I was having.
