i pop the PF to 300 and bet the flop hard.
you got your flop you wanted and you should be more aggressive with this hand. I bet the pot on the flop. the villian got to see his assumed flush way to cheaply when you got the flop you wanted to see.

Yeah, I'd fold too. I'd expect most of the hands that you beat to check behind on the river (AT-A6, KJ, etc.).

I think you probably folded the best hand... unless he had something like A2.

Big raises OOP with AQ kind of suck. A raise isn't horrible, but I think completing, early on, is preferred.

1 caller in front and you think completing is best???? I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning for that?

Is betting the turn (folding to a raise) wrong?

Raise PF, 3 quarter flop, bet turn

What's your desire to play a big pot OOP with only AQ?
