    Default AQs from small blind - standard?

    Interested in thoughts on playing AQs from small blind when it's limped around...

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($48.75)
    BB ($70.50)
    UTG ($83.80)
    UTG+1 ($20)
    MP1 ($10)
    MP2 ($46.05)
    MP3 ($50.75)
    CO ($28.25)
    Button ($89.25)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, Q.
    UTG calls $0.50, 4 folds, Button calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.75, 1 fold, UTG calls $2, Button calls $2.

    Flop: ($8.25) 5, 8, 4 (4 players)
    Hero bets $4.5,

    my default 'd0zerbot' move in that situation is basically how you've played it, though I am often apprehensive about leading into a 3-way. I probably shouldn't be such a pussy....

    this is not a good flop to bet. button and UTG often hves small cards in this spot, be a pair or whatever. C/fold

    check the flop! this hits their range harder than a ton of bricks. all sc's and mid pp's, and with the odds you are giving them, how can they fold?

    I play the same way you did but I think I'm a spewy bastard and these guys are right about the flop hitting their range.

    Edit: Except I'd bet $5.50-$6 into that pot.

    c/f flop

    Soooooo many hands can float, semi-float or just plain raise here and you arent folding very much as ATC will call and just push you off on the turn
