Questionable fold with AQs early on?
Early into the tourney so not too many reads on villain besides the fact that I haven't seen him get out of line at all yet....once he checkraises I just feel like I'm really not beating much unless I have reason to believe villain is terrible and is doing this with worse aces....
Would you fold here as well? Seems like only JJ, 55, or AJ tbh...

Seriously though, AQ is probably behind here.....
How do you remember that far back at your age????
You're guessing the rest of the way if you play it and you are behind a good %age of the time. It's early in the tourney. You'll hopefully find a much better spot to put your chips in later.
I think any bet you put in post flop is likely gonna get swallowed unless youre prepared to go all in. A re raise pretty much puts you both all in. His re raise can easily be testing the waters to see if you have a good ace or a crappy one. I think you have the worst of them because its a tough lay down. I always listen to re raises because its a rarer play especially at the begining, and if a guy is doing it alot on weaker hands you'll eventually take all his money or a good portion. I check the flop and evalute the size of his bet, smooth call most likely and lead out on the turn. I doubt he has aces or jacks, less likely ace king, but possible, very likely AJ or a crappy ace, but your not in a position to get the info you need.
Here's what i do, i fold to his re raise and type in the chat bar, "good job ruining your set buddy" and then he'll show his Ace rag...if he doesn't he had a monster....few donks can resist showing that kinda bluff.
Either way, the check on the flop is weeeeeeeak. Dumb play. If he flopped a set he missed so much value as said above. same with AK, AJ, etc. If he has nothing then he's getting so much reversed implied odds that it'll eventually screw him over if he keeps it up. It seems like this type of player won't be in the tourny for long.
You have plenty of chips and there so little money in the pot that its just not worth it. Do you really want to play for your whole stack with just 1 pair? Fold, wait for a better spot/hand/read, then pwn his sorry ass.
