Calling a preflop raise from UTG with A-Q

[DickieBets]

I play $11.00 PS SitnGos and am getting increasingly tight - to the point where I'm wondering if I'm too tight .

I just need some reasssurance here.

2nd or 3rd hand into a a SitnGo where the blinds are 10/20 ,

UTG raises to 100 preflop
next to act calls with A-Q o

Am I crazy to think that this is on the verge of a donk call ?

I would fold this in a second - There are very few flops I can think of I'd want to see with this hand.

Am I wrong to think this or am I way too tight?

I fold to an UTG raise w/ AQ. Often without batting an eyelid. At 10/20, it is absolutely routine.

I don't mind a call later. The problem isn't with the call... it's with the 7 hands yet to act.

AQ is limpable here at a full table, but you definitely can't be calling raises with it at this point in the game.

Yah, definitely a dumper. AQo is a dumper for me in EP this early in a SNG with a raise in front, and about 25% of the time I'm limping with it and that's about it. Check your PT stats and you'll see how much value that hand really has in the long run; I'll bet you're just about even with it after a large hand sample, it doesn't have as much value as most people tend to assign it.

However, in LP with no callers I usually just raise and try to take down the blinds and end the hand right there because of the value I've seen. Just my .02

Edit: I was typing a cash game post at another site when typing this one, even though I typed SNG, i basically gave you cash game fundamentals for AQo. LOL!!! Looks like I'm the d0nk to my left this time. Sorry about that!!

I dont know... AQo is my 3rd most winning hand over about 12k hands in 1 table sit n gos. It really how you play it, but early on id fold this. I think AQ becomes much more playable as the blinds get large and people are going in with weaker aces.
