I called preflop because he 3bet like a pussy (comments on this are welcome).

I often wonder what to do in this spot, particularly with an easily dominated hand like AQ. With a pair or SCs, it's pretty easy to call the stupid thing and flop it or drop it, but with hands like this you end up with... hands like this. I still call, though, but I'm wondering if that's a mistake.

I called on the flop because I thought I had some clean outs, but I might be getting into trouble with this, I'm not really sure.

If this is true, then...

The turn was a bet/fold and I felt I had to bet once he checked given that all I had was A high.

I think you should check and take the free card. It's also remotely possible that your hand is best at the moment.

On the river he doesn't have enough left behind to fold a pair, but is it worth the river shove to try to fold AK with a better club draw and all the hands I beat so I don't have to show this down?

If he were full stacked this would have a much better chance of working. He's already put in over half his stack. Does he hold specifically AK with a club more than 30% of the time? It might be close.
