I raise AQ and get reraised 3x by the UTG limper. I am looking to make a move and chip up so I push my remaining stack hoping to get UTG to fold, have Ax (not AK) dominated or at worst be in a race against 22-99. Thoughts?

Usually when someone limp-raises from UTG/EP they have KK or AA and were looking to spring a trap and hope you'd fall in.

With blinds at 30/60 and a stack of 2700 (minus your 300 raise) I'm not generally looking to play for stacks with AQ where we're likely coin-flipping at best. I'd be inclined to let this go, without any further reads on our opponent.

Agreed with above. UTG limp-raise is common play for AA. Any time you get 3bet with AQ, you are probably in trouble. If it was a min raise, I would maybe call and try to flop trips or something. You would probably have the pot odds (if not the implied odds) for that. But he raised you 3x your bet. That's a good time to fold.

Harrington likes the check raise move UTG with AK as a semi bluff. He claims it's a popular move for the pros (or was at one point). You may take the pot and if not you're in decent shape. Just adds another potential hand that beats you. I'm laying down anything but a min bet in most cases.

Our guest pro last week would certainly say lay it down :)
