WSOP 5K hand with AQ / wheel draw
 

Mostly a cash game player, and I was a little out at sea with this hand. I hope this is sufficient info for some recommendations from you all. I had a chat with another player on the table after this hand, and he told me I badly misplayed the hand.

300-600 blinds with $75 antes.

Folded to me, and I make a standard open to 2K with AQo from the Hi-jack. I've been moderately active lately after playing very tight in earlier rounds. Folded to BB, who looks at his cards, seems to consider options, and calls.

BB is a Vegas native named Chuck, other people at my table seem to know him -- 50ish, bearded. Likes to coldcall from the blinds, but otherwise very aggressive, and likes to push allin a lot.

Chuck checks to me.

Pot: 5050

Action's on me. My belief is that he will almost never call a bet, he will either raise allin or fold. Two scenarios:

(1) He has 9k behind [this is what I estimated he had]
(2) He has 12k behind [this is what he actually had, I suck at live poker]

I start the hand with 26k, so losing an allin would be painful but not crippling.

Suggestions?

He shouldn't have a pair (or he should have moved allin PF). So I guess if you want to be real fancy you can bet some amount to encourage an allin. If he has a pair he's getting allin anyway, and maybe you get him to move allin with weaker ace, which is worth quite a decent amount here . The pot is very large though so nothing too wrong with just open pushing.

If he's never calling seems like a clear bet/call.

There aren't that many unpaired hands you'd really want to fold and he isn't folding any pair here to a shove.

Especially clear if you get the impression he likes to make moves.
