10 NL checking with AQ high?

[reutel]

Checking felt really passive here. I am really unsure about my line, I would have bet half the pot on the flop if there wasn't a shortstacker in here. Is that correct? I just started 4 tabling, and find it really hard to remember past hands, so no reads. Thanks for any reply

CO almost certainly has something mediocre and can't call a big bet from you. Isolate BB with all that overlay just waiting to be picked up.

If you can't remember past hands and you're not taking notes then you're playing too many tables.

You probably earn slightly more playing 4 tables rather than 2 but you'll learn so much less and in the long run being able to beat higher stakes is much more important.
