Default Re: AQo played properly?

I don't like the preflop re-raise. If the button hadn't called I would probably re-raise a loose-aggressive player here but I would raise 3 times their bet. A raise of twice their bet with acts as a pot sweetner with 2 players already in the pot and doesn't really give you a great idea of where you're at. Simply re-raising out of position with AQ against 2 players is not a great move period. I bet a little less here on the flop. A bet of 2/3 the pot-3/4 the pot will get the job done while offering your opponents improper drawing odds. The push on the turn makes sense I guess but there is more to the story. Even though your opponent is loose preflop you must consider what hands they're willing to go to the river with. All in all, I think I probably push the turn as well but I wouldn't have gotten myself in this mess in the first place with a weak pot sweetener re-raise preflop facing 2 opponents out of position.
