Default OT: $55 MTT, AQ on scary board vs. fish

My read was this guy was weak. This hand took my better judgment out to sea, or else it was a brilliant play? Felt like the end was a bluff on his part. Welcome thoughts by STT Community on all streets. Posted here OT as I trust the views here and I don’t see this hand as really specific to MTT thought process.

The chips don't add up right, so I'm not totally sure where to go here (you bet 300+500+1930 = 2730, not 2130). From what I do see, I don't really like it.

Check-raising the turn, even with your read, doesn't feel right. I'd rather check-raise flop or shove turn (still dicey). I don't think you win here often at all.

I hate this idea that SNG players can justify posting MTT hands here.

Believe it or not, the biggest difference between forms of poker isn't how comfortable you feel in their respective forums.
