Just to clear it up Taz, no one is saying AQ suited is a trash hand. In fact its a very good starting hand...one certainly worth a raise. However when you are put in a situation where you are CALLING for all your chips, AQ suited starts to look a lot worse, and after 2 raises and several other players still to act, it is very very unlikely that it is ahead at the time.
By the way you seem to be overvaluing suited cards.....being suited does make a difference, ie Id play ace rag suited from a good position, but would always fold ace rag unsuited...and I can do this only because I know that unless I flop a flush draw or two pair, I am able to fold if an ace hits if there is any strength shown by other players.... but the suited doesnt improve a hand that much, and for an all in sense, it doesnt really matter more than a few %. If you are calling for all your chips, you dont wanna rely on a flush draw, you wanna think you are ahead at the time, thus the suitedness of the AQ should make only a very little difference in this all in instance
