    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    your first mistake was calling pre-flop. You should have raised this to avoid playing AQs against 3 opponents.

    As played I am not calling here with just one pair this early in the tourney as I think you are behind more often than ahead. It could be a weaker Ace, but imo it is early enough to wait for a better spot.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    If you're going to just limp in here you can't go broke with just 1 pair.

    I agree with Gator, if you are going to play this then you have to raise it preflop.

    I would check behind and take the free card on the turn, the T is a bad card for a number of reasons (AT, KT, QJ are all hands that might have limped preflop). As played, you have to let it go, SB is showing HUGE strength and I can't see all that much that he would play like this that you beat with AQ.

    You need to learn about reverse implied odds
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    Raise pre.

    As played fold, the axiom of 'dont go broke in unraised pots' applies here
