15$ 9man AQ

I haven't played 9 max in a year but I will try it anyway.
CL is limping very wide range and he is planing to call SS on SB if he shoves. When he folds I think this is mandatory all in from you. If you check AQs what is your shoving range over limp here? I am trying to say that you would get easily exploited with limping from your opponents if you miss value here.
Post flop I would never just call cause you have 2 overs and FD at best 60% equity , what kind of flop did you hope to hit when you checked behind pf? So check raise flop or bet call.

P.S. Hand is missing info about how many hands you have on him , what is his limp% overall and/or from BTN, perhaps if you saw him ingame limping in various phases etc

82 hands, limp 12% only limped hand shown QJo.Sample not big enough to give any more details. I agree I should have shoved pre, but I am still not convinced about postfop play with only a draw.

Shove pre is the best option as everybody agrees. The thing here is that we very risk averse against the guy not just preflop, but postflop also-meaning we are gonna need much higher equity than what the pot odds suggest.

I think c/ship is best as I expect this guy to be betting flops almost always and we are never in a bad shape with 2 overs and the nut flush draw, not to mention, we even have K/T to give us a runner-runner broadway.
