Beginners might think that A-Q is a great hand and are most likely to overplay it. In reality, this hand can make or break you. It is how you play it that counts. If you’re in an early position, limp re-raises to see how your opponents react to it. If he calls you, you have to consider that his hand is better than you and dump the hand.

If you’re in a late position, you should raise if you have A-Q hand. But if someone has raised first, it is advisable to just forget about it.
