Default NL (they have stakes that low) AQ top two pair

Table has been playing really passively, almost felt like I was playing limit. Small blind was an alright player but he would call down reasonable bets with just top pair. UTG+1 this was the first hand he played at the table. I think my first mistake was not reraising the flop, but AQ has been a tricky hand for me.

Thanks,

Include stacks in your posts. At these stakes in a multiway pot I just push turn and expect somone stupid enough to call with everything from worse 2pair to J-high.

Yes, reraise preflop. On the turn you can bet more than the pot (perhaps 2$). A push will just scare most hands away.

They learn what scare means somewhere between 10-25NL so loosing them is not a problem. Besides, the other guy is all-in with a 2 bet and the other will only have 0.7 left. But I guess betting 1 on turn and pushing river is good too.

Bet pot. One of them is drawing to a flush, one of them probably called with A2 or A3, a Q probably doesn't want to believe you have an A - they'll all pay plenty to see the river.

On the turn I pushed all-in, I figured I would only have about .60 left for the river and that was going in unless a heart fell. Is this ok, or should I have just waited. I think I have been reading to much Doyle Brunson.
