Why not? Its relatively the same hand, board dependent, and in the right situations, its identical.....
because in all actuality, its NOT the same hand. I've played QA VERY strongly, only to be beaten by AK more times than i care to remember. Its a trouble hand. For that matter AJ is nearly as good as AQ...should you play that strongly? not really.
I think AQ is closer to AJ, than to AK. It is playable, and raiseable from any position IMHO, although I might limp more often from the blinds.
If I'm not mistaken, Phil Ivey got busted 3 or 4 times from the final table on the WPT. last year Each time he had AQ. I don't think this proves anything, its just interesting.
AQ is a strong drawing hand. On Loose tables theres little value in it. You can extract a little value with multiple callers in late with a minimum raise- but set your exit limits carefully- avoid betting more than 60-80% of the pot by the river on a weak flop. Although this is a hand to put down.... look out for flush draws.. you can suck someone out with it and get a little more value.
On tight table with gap, hit the blinds hard (4bb) mid/late. Just aim for top pair-You got to know your blind players on this sort of table. If its a very tight aggressive table I tend not to limp in anything in early. (Ha.. I just stacked one of my adversaries on the cryptos by playing K2 suited off BB calling a raise- he was furious -moral -- know the blinds)
AQ is tricky.... Play it a few thousand times in all positions -you'll get the hang of it...
my advice to you, is to not listen to anything that deme just said
I've seen phil ivey a number of times play AQ aggresivly...now this is just TV but I can think of three times in which Ive seem him with it.....once on the monte carlo millions and twice on WPT.
Yes, there is the chance that you could get outkicked by AK, but there are other vulnerabilities that AQ has which AK does not. AQ has to worry a whole lot more about KK when it hits its second best top pair. In regards to PF all-ins, AQ fears more than twice as many hands.
