I found his flop raise and turn bet very weird. Anything I beat here? Looks like I'm only ahead of AT, A9, A7. Can't see someone being too happy with anything lower than that. Should be a fold, right?

Villain was pretty TAG (16/10/2 over 400 hands), so that should rule out weak Aces IMO.

That turn card is really bad. Like you said yourself, Youre only ahead of A10, A9, A8. This is why I hate AQ. I fold and fume for half an hour.

not even A8. Depends what villain will c/r with, but that's a dry flop, the best you can hope for is winning AT, splitting AQ. The rest of the time villain has flopped 2 pair, turned 2 pair or had AK.

But the call of the flop raise isn't to bad, is it? I'm not sure how active I was at the time, but it could be villain is testing me, right? I like to see what he does on the turn...

It's an unfortunate situation (and an unfortunate turn card). FWIW, here are some combos:

AK/AJ/88/33 = 20

AT/A9 = 16

AQ = 6

A9 should probably be discounted somewhat if we're not going to include A8, so you're not as close to even money as those combos suggest even if Villain will play all of them exactly the same way.

Anyway, I don't think you're a huge dog or anything either, but Villain's line does seem strong, and you could be crushed.

In short, ugh. I don't know what's best.
