Default 25 NL 6m- AQ flops a monster, raise this turn?

I know I should be trying to get my money in but if I raise here it absolutely gives away my hand, even though I know it's the right play. So how much do you raise here? (If you do in fact raise here)

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($35.30)
Hero ($25.30)
SB ($22.80)
BB ($25)
UTG ($10.65)
MP ($30.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, SB calls $1.15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP folds.

Flop: ($3) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, SB calls $2.50.

Turn: ($8) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, Hero ?

i think probably has AJ or AK or maybe even AT, depend how loose he is, that or a medium PP, anyway, id call the Turn and see what he does on river, since even a min raise will scare him away probably,because you almost PSB the flop, and that way maybe u can make him put a bit more money in the pot, on the river

not sure of this play though, like to here other opinions too.

That bet is tiny. It looks to me like he has a monster. The turn either just counterfitted you, or just gave him the underfull. I would call it, and if he doesn't shove the river, you should.

BTW, I suck, so take this as an opinion, not advice.

is villain loose or tight? i think that makes a big difference in how you want to play this hand.

obv if tight, just call and see what happens on the river.

if he's loose and hopefully sees you as a laggy player, he may try to float you here if you raise. i don't think raising gives your hand away...on the contrary, i think it hides your strength more than calling does. i'd raise to about 6 or 7 turn.

Probably chopping but I'd call and let him fire again on the river before raising just in case he wants to bluff or in case he thinks his 5 or PP is good.

I'd call and get the extra on the river.
