Default AQ hits the Ace but opponents just keep raising

BB is 50/2/0.5, Button is 50/16/1.2 (which I think is actually a bit laggier than it appears), and UTG is 50/25/1.3.

I think I imagined the pot was bigger than it was because I was planning on popping the turn. IMO the flop should be a C/R. When normally passive BB raises, I feared I was in trouble. I just don't see how I can call 2 bets cold on the turn with my read, although I'll definitely do that on occasion even with no read given how idiotic some players are.

Looks alright to me; C/R flop but you know that.

1) I like a cap pre-flop rather than a call due to position. UTG was slowplaying a big hand or being retarded, since his PFR is high I vote for assuming he is retarded. Cap if you can get him to raise any flop after you bet, the goal here is to get the dead money in the hand, and play vs UTG.

2) Your flop play is retarded, and I'm not just talking about the mistake you already made. Since you made that mistake, after BB bets you need to 3-bet this all day long. Don't be scared to build big pots.

I refuse to discuss all later streets because the first two I dislike so much. Its ok that you made an error on the flop, but to make 2 errors on the flop is blech.
