My point was/is that you should always be aware of your table image and what VPIP/PFR/AF stats you are presenting so while AQ can be tough to play in EP and you'll be dominated/folding it a lot to aggression, that's no reason to open fold it as a default play such as WillburForce is suggesting.

I love how the lower the stakes the more dismissive players get of even semi-advanced thinking. It's important to start embracing and internalizing it. The point is to pwn the micros and move up isn't it? The only way that happens is to get better.
