    Worst. Loss. Ever.

    I couldn't believe it. I flop a beautiful hand, and get rivered by the nuttiest hand possible. I was able to recover some of my chips back after this, but was far too rattled. Take a look:

    This would never have happened had you raised your AQ preflop

    Are you saying that it is usually a bad play to limp UTG with AQ or that it just turned out bad in this case?

    So I assume you would argue that if you are at a point in a tourney where you are trying to play tight and conservative (say the early stages of a lower buy-in MTT) that it would be better to just fold that hand UTG rather than try to limp to see a cheap flop?

    There is a huge difference between tight conservative play and tight weak play. This was tight weak play. Just about any raise before the flop would have gotten him off his J5.

    It depends...if you have 2500 in chips and the blinds are 10-20, I dont mind limping in with it, but youre correct, in general, more often than not...folding AQ UTG is a good move!

    I think my original strategy was just to appear weak, yes. But after that flop I had zero problem with slow playing. I just never saw it coming.
