Assuming I was going to raise AQo UTG I would raise to .4 initially. But in reality...

Insta-fold a hand that's going to lose you a lot of money OOP.

I would fold AQo UTG always. AQs I might raise sometimes (but not often) depending on the table.

If his standard ugt raise size is 3x regardless of his hand, then there is nothing wrong with a 3x raise, although I do agree that raising to 4x would be better

Folding AQ utg is criminal imo. There are extenuating circumstances obviously, but I personally look for a reson to not raise it, rather than looking for a reason to raise it.

dont ever raise less than 3.5BB pf in EP, or for the matter ever. the 4xBB +1BB for every limper formula is an even better start. fold this hand to 3bet

With all due respect, this statement is absolutely ridiculous. Please elaborate on your thoughts.

nonsense. Raising 3xbb can be perfectly fine. I personally follow a 3xBB or 3.5BB open raise with ALL hands, but if there are limpers, i do vary my raise size depending on my hand and the fishiness of the limpers and a few other factors.

AQo is one of the few hands i limp in EP with. That said i only limp it lik 5% of the time. I tend to just raise it and hope a fish calls. If i'm called by a solid player, i'm playing cautious, if reraised its an instafold against all but el-supremo-fishio.
