Seen as though its early i would take it easy after he called the flop simply because there isnt any draws on the board at this time, so the only reason he would call is because he has a MID PP or KQ-KJ. If he had a high PP i think he would raise you after your bet. But thats just my way to put it???

[Sprayed]

No, I wouldn't have played it this way. I would have called and not raised. Not a bad play though since your hand is suited. As played, I would have thrown out a c-bet like you did, but when called I would have figured he had a K and checked it down like you did. I don't force anything with AQ when I have a reasonable stack. With limpers already in I'm just calling to see a cheap flop. If I hade AK, I would definitely make this play.

um

I did that. I didn't put anymore money in after he called the c-bet.

[Jimmy Mac]

Not sure about raising up all those limpers with AQs from the small blind. I would have just completed it and taken the flop. I don't like putting a bunch of chips in preflop with no pair and OOP.

[gabe]

i wouldnt raise preflop, it just makes it tough to play

[johnny_fish]

I'd raise pf like you did, and probably check/fold the flop, depending on the table/tourney. What was the buy-in? I might be more inclined to cbet if it was >25 or so.
