Who said don't play AQ?
You did... it's second best to AK, AA, KK, QQ

you said don't enter the pot with second best hand
well, duh, but I don't know what hand they have
did you read the point before you replied to it?

I didnt say dont play AQ, I said know when to fold it.

AQ is often the best hand, but if your reraised, then chances are your in a dominated posistion.

AA
AK
KK
QQ

sure, they might have AJ or TT or even 72, but it's not worth the chance....

in no limit I'd rather have JTs after a reraise than AQ
