I'm ok with the limp reraise here. My main question is what to do on the turn here. It doesn't seem that I'm really beating too many hands here. What should I have done? Did I totally butcher this?

Thanks, beer.

I honestly believe there are some hands in limit hold'em that you are doomed to lose. This may be one of them.

Hands you can't beat:
10-10
9-9
K-K
A-Q
K-Q
Q-J
Q-10
Q-9
J-J
K-J
K-10
K-9
Lots of others, and any two hearts.

Other than that, I'm not good enough to tell you how you should have played this, other than I don't limp re-raise with AA in limit hold'em.

Should i have bet the turn and folded to a raise?

I dont think you can give up the lead on the turn, and i probably wouldnt have, yes, it is a scary card, but when you give up, he has a chance to take it away from you, which he didn't, but i figure the only hand he's betting that you're beating on the turn is AK. I think if you do get raised on the turn, you can fold.

In general giving up the momentum on scary boards is a bad idea, but I don't totally hate it here. If you bet and fold to a raise, you are giving up some decent equity, especially if he only has 2 pair. Even vs. a set you have 6 outs. Any queen is bad news, and AQ horrible, but I think you'll get raised by more than this. It may depend on the player's standards for raising preflop after a limper; you didn't tell us anything about the player.

against an average player, i think bet-folding the turn is the standard move. any read on this guy's aggression?

Opponent showed KQo, and took it down.

Why didn't you bet the turn? If he has a Queen he'll raise you and you can either call it down or fold. By checking into him he will either suspect the checkraise with a drawing hand and check behind, or will bluff you, or semibluff .... Either situation sucks.
