I don't like how i played this AQs hand - opinions?

[afk]

I've never played with MP2 before, so I don't know much about him. So far, seems like your average micro limit player.

I guess my questions are my flop and turn play. Lousy flop, what's my action? And how do you guys play the turn here?

One of the more difficult situations when your hand completely misses. The check/fold on the river is ok since all you can beat here is a bluff.

Yeah the river is the one street where I feel I played alright. I didn't think this guy was folding after he called the turn. I usually pop the turn in hands like these, though I don't know how often I'm doing it correctly.
