This is why you don't raise AQ out of position pre-flop in the early levels.

Lesson learned. Won´t ever do it again.
Well I folded the hand, turned out MP2 had a set of 8

Most likely better off limping AQ especially out of position or just folding it all together. Save your chips for later rounds

I don't think I would ever raise this amount from the BB with any hand

You think that either of these guys has a flush? Bad fold.

With AK in that position I raise to t150.

...folds.

You got a cheap turn card that didn't really help you much (yeah I know you've got a flush draw). I think the flop call is fine with two overs and an GSSD.

It's a double gutshot draw and the flush draw (which is suspect but nobody has a flush right now).

Big oversight on the double gutshot straight draw on my part. That would give hero six clean outs. But I still don't think its worth the 100 chips. There will be times when you miss but get to see a free showdown. Times when you hit the straight and win a bunch of chips. But its the times where you make top pair or make second best flush and lose your stack that I am worried about.

Probably too weak-tight on my part, but I think it's better to error on the weak-tight side when you're not sure how to play a hand and you still have plenty of chips to work.
