Ace Queen is a go or call AK however especially suited can be a 7x raise to negate your bad position. The thing about aq is it is a huge dog on flops like k-4-9 where the button will be liberal to min raise it with k-10 or kj suited and maybe even 99!! AQ really only plays well on boards of q-2-7. AK is more powerful against the cuttoff or dealers ranges and is a flip against qq or 99 even 56 suited if the player is good and might not even call your 7 x raise unless they had aces or kings which is only bad luck for you if they have aces or if they raised you and you 3 or 4 bet them. They will call you based on their perception of position.
How should I be playing these kind of hands from the blinds? I've generally been 3betting depending on the player and number of people in the pot, however I'm wondering if this is bad due to inflating a pot we're playing out of position?
