so you fold AQo from the button to a standard preflop raise from a player you have no reads on with the biggest stack at the table?
I think you have more options beside push or fold. Did you consider calling?

I don't mind calling here to see a flop, and as Steve Danneman said, folding is only a small mistake here.
However pushing is pretty bad ... you have 24BB, if he call's you're looking at TT+, AQs+ range because he doesn't need to risk his stack on a mediocre hand here.

Calling off 20% of your stack is the wrong play 99% of the time.

I don't really mind the fold. Just calling makes playing postflop hard. Pushing is probably bad w/ no read./i

I don't like cold calling 20% of my stack to a raise from early position and then having to fold to the continuation bet on the flop when AQ misses like it usually does.

It's 16% of his stack, if you've got to round at least make it reasonable and call it 15%.
To me with no information about villian I am just not sure. What had villian been doing before this? When do the blinds go up? If this was first pot villian had played or something I am willing to let it go more often than not.
