Default AQo in sb, flopped top pair, tough spot


i think i had a slightly agressive image on table, only reads i had on villain was, he bet half pot once with overcards and, he bet pot when had overpair, so was this a good fold?

but what can i beat here rly, KQ,TT,88,AK?
i thought to many hands could get me, i showed strength and yet he insta raised allin, he could easily have AA,KK,JJ,99, also could have, yet less probable, QQ or QJ.

and raising allin preflop doesnt seem a bit out of line? there was less than 10% of my stack in pot, i had an M of 15 +/-, no need to get crazy i think

but this could be a leak, more opinions are welcome

Buy-in would be helpful. After calling PF, I think you have to check/raise A/I on the flop.

You don't need to bet that much on flop. As played you have to call now.
