I'd raise PF and c-bet the flop. As played, I like your flop line but I'd fold on the turn. With the straight card hitting, and UTG betting into the field and MP1 calling that, I'm out. If you limp along PF, you can't take a whole lot of heat holding top pair.

Edit: You did fold on the turn. I like.

this is kind of why i raise preflop with AQs. as played, shoving folding or calling are all options... id probably not flat call, folding kind of looks good when utg calls a flop reraise then leads

I fold this preflop, is that very wrong?

As played I would raise a bit more on the flop 210~220 and push the turn

I'm a weak/tight nit and I'd never contemplate folding this PF, WTF?

With 3limpers though I'd probably prefer a limp along than a raise.

I don't like raising here PF w AQs b/c there are usually a few callers and if the flop is low cards it kind of sucks.

The reason that I think I am behind on this turn is b/c the guy who calls my reraise (UTG) checked the flop. If it was the guy who led w a small bet, I'd still think I was ahead, but I was not a fan of the call. When he led the turn I figured him for two pair or better and mucked. While I realize I may have been ahead, I feel like folding and moving on to the next hand w 1500 or so chips is the better play.
