AQs from early position

Pre-flop is close already to call on a min-raise with so many players behind you. Decent change you end up multi way and if you hit a Ace you newer know where you at, because it’s always possible you deal with a 2 pair or set than. So it’s most likely better to 3bet if the UTG player is on the loose side. This way AQs is easier to play I think. Off course you need to fold on a 4bet.

As played I like the bet with top pair good kicker on the flop for value.

The turn I would bet as well, but I don’t think he/she will call the flop and chipped the turn with 65. That would be suicidal if he/she will do that. Also a straight isn’t likely and 55 will most likely fold the flop. Off course you newer know it if a random player on the 20c games will fold it on the flop multi way with only 2 outs to improve.

I think it’s more likely he/she has a 77, 33 or A5. Maybe also weaker aces, but I expect they will raise the flop already and calling with a backdoor flush on the flop and shipping the turn isn’t to likely either or it is a A♠:x combo.

Without reads I would make a nitty fold here.
