Default Re: Tough spot w/AQs

Does anyone else just call this flop? This way if we are against A7, A8, 77, 88, KK, AK (whatever hits the turn, this logic holds) we can save money by raising the turn and folding to a 3 bet (with the 3 bet clearly defining we are beat on the turn). Also if it checks to us on the turn we bet and then can possibly calldown from there on a safe river.

Also if villian has a hand we beat, which I think is unlikely unless it's some sort of draw, this lets us win the most and lose the least. I would play this a bit defensively, it seems like there aren't a lot of hands calling us down that we beat, and it leaves us in the spot of either paying a lot to see showdown or folding the winner sometimes. I want to see a showdown here, and I do so as cheaply as possible with 2 opponents and that board, plus the fact that 3 bets went in preflop.

As played I would just call the turn and call again on the river unless it's 2 bets to me.
