Sigh I suck AQo with tight raise $4.40

This guy had been pretty tight early on, I dont think I had seen him show down even though he raised a couple times. he was like 15/6 maybe at this point. So I decided to just call preflop instead of reraising. Fine? Well then this flop comes and well lets just say its not really what I was hoping for, its not bad but not good. What the hell do I do?

2 folds, MP1 calls t30, MP2 calls t30, MP3 calls t30, CO calls t30, Button raises to t130, 1 fold, Hero calls t100, MP1 calls t100, MP2 folds, MP3 calls t100, CO calls t100.

1st of all I would check.
In a 5way pot there are a lot of possible holdings that have you beat.
Let's have a look at all the other player's reactions here.

Second possibility would be to bet about 300 - and fold if one of the big-stacks reraises, while play against the small stacks, against which we are committed.

I prefer the check.

Second point - You are in a very bad situation on the flop, which I think is possible to avoid by either reraising preflop to isolate button (if he is a loose player), or to fold this one preflop OOP (if button is a tight player - that knows he commits himself with this 130 raise).

def fold preflop (trap-hand/OOP/read on raiser/reverse implied odds...etc)

...c/f flop.

Fold preflop for every reason erc007 says.

I often fold this hand given your reads PF in cash games.

However, given how short he is, re-raising PF to isolate him with overlay from the limpers isn't bad either.

Check the flop. This is not a good flop for AQ.
