Default stars 50/90 AQ in the big blind

no reads. i sort of hate how i played this hand. i'm leaning towards pushing the turn as played. how terrible is my thinking?

CO (t4045)
Button (t1965)

UTG+1 (t1215)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t120</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls t90, UTG+1 calls t90.

Seems to me like you took your shot at the pot on the flop and villian let you know that he was serious about playing. Seems like a check to me.

MAJOR CAVEAT: I'm new to Hold'em and just learning (potentially quite slowly [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]).

Push and hope villain wasn't on a flush draw or slow playing a big hand. You have outs.

Why not just dump the flop? You only have 120 invested and it leaves you in a horrible spot if you're called. Now that you hit a good turn, I'd push this but the real mistake was made on the flop.

I don't really like the flop cr, but given you got this far I probably push the turn.

I think you have to atleast call the small flop bet with two high overcards and the backdoor flush draw.
