Just busted my local casino $75 bounty tornament and was trying to figure if I played this poorly. Blinds 100/200/25, table is 9 handed, I have 5600 UTG. I raise to 400, UTG +1 raises to 1100 and has me barely covered (just moved to table, complaining he wants to go back to the cash game) BB flats the 1100 with a similar stack as me as well. I decide to shove.
Should I of just took a flop here?

I think with ace queen you are raising preflop for value but also to see if there is ace king, queens, or better out there.
when you get reraised, and cold called you have to figure your ace queen is beat most likely.
i like a fold here as there is strength shown and you dont' have the 20 bb magic stack..

I think fold or flat is better than shoving here, if my maths is correct it was about 700 to call into roughly 3000, looking to hit 2 pair, trips, or flush draws, but you're going to be oop to the 3bettor, who I don't think likely to have worse than AQs here.
So yeah flat hoping for a good flop, leaving yourself with 20 bb behind is probably what I would do, but as always I'd like to hear from some better players than me haha

from my experience when i get to see cards at showdown when someone flats utg 2 three bet they normally have strong hand like 99+ or even monster plus you need to worry about utg 1 three better id just fold i think.

TPE Theory: Playing AQ and JJ
The two hardest hands to play in hold'em, Wein hammers home just how important playing post-flop with AQ and JJ are, while also showing you spots where they are no brainers all in pre-flop.
that should help you as wlel in future

This is why i apsolutely hate AQ so much. Your ethier loosing to AK or KK when i do flop a pair which is like never. Its the biggest reverse implied odds hand in holdem from my expirence.
