To be honest ive only played the open twice, I normally play the £400 Guarenteed and also cash games... I think I just need to broaden the sites I play on...!?

If you do join more sites make sure you find the best rake and first deposit deals by searching t"internet. Also get the refer a friend deals too.
Then play them all like a bonus clearing whore and you should clean up nicely.

With a structure as bad as they have on Sky

Don"t think that"s very fair to be honest. The Open is what it is, and the structure is set to make sure the tournament can finish during the live programme. If you don"t like it, you don"t have to play it.
I choose to play it for the fun of it - it is a fast and furious turbo tourney. I made the final table last week, and it was a bit of a buzz to see my hands played out on TV and to hear commentary (both good and bad). I have no expectations about it being somewhere to play serious poker though - for that I play the well structured tourneys on Stars, and of course the APAT online games.
With respect to the hand being questioned on this thread.... if you aren"t going to shove here with AQ, what hand are you waiting for? If you are waiting for a premium pair before getting your chips in, you will have no chips left. I know that normally speaking you should be looking for occasions where you will get your chips in first, particularly with such a marginal hand...... but in your particular scenario, and at this stage of the tourney with the blind to stack ratio so distorted, AQ is always an auto-shove..... never ever folding AQ there.
