Re: AQ when you don\'t hit the flop
The flop is pretty dry here and you're only against 1 opponent but he could be a donk calling with a 7, 2 or 3. The pot is only 3 BBs so it's not worth fighting over it too much. You have position so you can check and get a free river card and then bet if you hit an A or Q on the river, otherwise check/fold.

Re: AQ when you don\'t hit the flop
Most of the time you check behind here and fold to the river bet from BB if you don't improve.
Sometimes you'll want to bet this again and check behind on the river. Going too far with overcards is one of the first leaks you should be fixing in your game.

[/ QUOTE ] I would check the turn here if I knew I was playing a passive player who wouldn't bet the river without a made hand of some description once I had shown weakness. That's one of the first things I note about opponents because it is very useful in situations like this. Against an unknown or an aggressive player who will bet the river with J10o after I check the turn I prefer to bet now and then I can maybe make an extra bet if I hit an ace or queen on the river. I fold UI if villain donks the river, but this isn't going to happen often with a hand that I beat.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree, just because you raise a hand with "big cards" like AQo, AJs, or AKo/s, doesn't mean you have to keep going if you miss the flop. In this case though you are heads up, so I think checking and folding to river bet, or firing again on the turn and checking the river if possible could both be correct. It depends of your read on the bad guy and what you think he could do.

[/ QUOTE ] Here it is probably ok because the pot is small making the reward not worth the risk ;however, I'm pushing this turn in a larger pot. Checking behind on this turn is giving your hand away and will allow a good opponent to steal from you on the river.
