Playing With AQ

Hello,

Lately, I’ve encountered a lot of problems regarding AQ, suited or not. Well, it appeared to me that it’s like the kind of hand that can give you little winnings but can give big losses.

Lately, I’ve been into low limit $3/6 and just this morning I had the worst experience ever related to AQ.

Flop was A,2,4 all diamonds. My queen was D. At some point, guy to my right placed a bet and I raised. 3rd player then called while 1st bettor called me (but I discovered this later). Turn came and brought another 4 therefore 1st bettor checked. I then checked as well however last guy placed a bet. We then both called. River came and brought a diamond. 1st position placed a bet and I called. 3rd player raised and 1st bettor re-raised. I then called and button capped it.

I remember I had queen high flush. Later I spent $18 just to see button had king high flush. 1st guy has pocket 2′s and boated on the turn. In the end, I end up having the 3rd best hand.

Before, I don’t want to believe that there’s actually a trouble hand but I’m starting to believe there is now. Is there anything you could recommend to me about seeing the flop with A,Q? Or is that just part of losing some hands and I have to call there?

By the way, your site is so helpful. Thank you very much.

Regards,
Echo
Echo,

A-Q is a good hand in Limit Holdem and you ended up with a 2nd nut flush. This is just the normal part of losing some hands, especially in Limit. You pretty much have to call here.
