I like the flop call hoping to get a cheap showdown.
I guess fold the turn so we don't get sandwiched or have to call another river bet.

Flop is an easy call, turn is an easy fold.

Nobody else consider raising pf, maybe 120? I think raise or fold. But I suck. :nod:

I'd like to hear other opinions, but I really like calling here pf. Raising to something like 120 we'll still have a few callers.

I miscounted the # of limpers here.. So i guess my standard raise here with AQ would be 3 or 4x plus the 4 limpers = 160-180. I might even make it 200 to deter multiple callers. If I don't raise here, I fold without betting at all. AQ not a great hand against 3 or 4 players. If you're at a table that's this loose, you can surely wait for a better spot, IMHO.

I agree that I would much rather fold then raise here. In the first level I'll call this, in later early levels I'll fold pf. But right now its only 20 chips.

Raising with AQ here isn't good.
