i think that in order for this play to work you have to raise preflop, and then fire at it again on the flop. i dont think that just betting or check raising the flop is necessarily enough to take this down. showing postflop agression here may be wasted because you did not lead into it by three betting it preflop.
theoretically, this play can work with any two cards, and you dont necessarily have to have a hand even as good as AQ. if you can effectively represent a big hand when you are holding absolute trash, then you should try this more often. yes, you will get called sometimes, and have to sheepishly showdown 93o often, but advertising isnt the worst thing in the world. if you can throw this into your game, then it is like adding a good changeup to a fastball pitcher. it throws everyone else off, and they never know what you have.
