AQs- Bluffing with the best hand?

[flair1239]

Table was temporarily short handed. Villian was loose-Aggressive PF, and semi reasonable post flop. Fairly aggressive when he decides to play.

Note: Long pause on his part after my turn bet. I think the river may be a value bet on a lower Ace. Although a med. PP is possible.

You should have 3bet this preflop. You have the best hand much of the time. I think if you decide to call you should checkraise the flop.

Auto 3bet. Hand plays much differently then.

Could you tell why?

Lag CO's hand range is pretty wide here. Unless he has a K or a pair we're probably ahead. Once button folds the checkraise is probably for value and gives the co a chance to fold a hand with six outs. 3betting preflop is a lot better though.
