8-10 player table, you have AQo, KQo or AJo in early postion on an unopened pot with no limpers in front of you. What do you do?
My current playbook:
AQ & KQ: Raise, fold to any respectable re-raise.
AJ: Limp, fold if raised by more than the minimum. Jack is a weak top pair and 3rd best kicker is too weak to have out of position. At a tight or preflop-aggressive table I'll flat out pass.
KJ & QJ are easy folds.
All my raises are to at least 3x BB.

if you are at a table with limpers, I have been experimenting with using AJo and even KJ for a small information raise (2BB). This punishes those who play marginal or junk hands, and can sometimes elicit an overthetop for 5-6x BB from the high pairs and slicks.

My standard is to fold KQo,AJo in UTG,UTG+1, UTG+2 depending on the table. I open AQo for a raise from all positions. I raise KQs, and AJs from all positions also.
