Was getting tired of throwing away those suited AQ hands in LP against loose raisers. Here are a couple of sample hands. Any comments on the EV for this move? If I look at Xarrys charts, AQs is +EV against anyone looser than 10%. This play of course depends on possible post flop play so I am cautious where I do not hit the flop.

Preflop: Hero is BU with A♣, Q♣
I realize the stats are useless against MP2 with 4 hands, but he had played almost every hand since joining the table so he was either on a great card rush or pretty loose.
4 folds, MP3 raises to $3.00, CO folds, Hero calls $3.00, SB folds, BB calls $2.00.
Flop: ($9.50) J♦, T♥, A♦ (3 players)
BB checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets $6.00, 2 folds.
Final Pot: $15.50
Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows a pair of aces (Ac Qc)
Hero wins with a pair of aces (Ac Qc)
Took the initiative on the flop as both players checked.

Stats over 4 hands are not very usefull, but he was playing every hand (hindsight is always 20/20).
