I agree with Pete Fabrizio here. If you fold to the half-pot lead here, you're a huge pussy. Contrary to what some people are saying, you don't play AQ "just because it's suited" (WTF, is A2s stronger than AQo now?). A lot of times, you make top pair and hope to win with it.

Any way, while a set is possible, something like AJ or AT that wants to see where they are cheaply is also possible, as is a semi-bluff with a good draw. This could easily be something like Jh9h or Ahxh that's just hoping we'll raise so they can 3-bet all-in and make us fold our hand that's flipping with them.

I'd definitely just call the flop here. See what the action's like behind and try to get a better read on BB from what he does on the turn. I'd be folding most heart turns and when a blank comes off, I'd usually either be calling or raising to protect against draws and take a free showdown although folding's still a definite option. I'd also play a set this way a lot of the time, so I don't think this gives away anything about my hand either except maybe that it's relatively strong.

FWIW, the people that think pushing's even remotely a consideration with ~250 big blinds here know nothing about poker. Why you'd take a WA/WB top pair hand like AQ and overbet it for 5x the pot here is beyond me.
