I'm not even sure if this is a bet-fold situation...if villain were anywhere but UTG i'd probably have 3bet preflop...I feel like the rest of the hand is kind of muddled because I didn't. Thoughts? Alternate lines?

I would threebet preflop and play this much faster. The way you played it there is no way you can fold. Even decent players might raise an A10, A7-A8s here.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

I'd CR the river, UTG will very likely bet.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

I would 3-bet pf as well.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

As you played it, I'd call the river.

I would also 3-bet pf and take it from there.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

Definitely call the river raise. Sounds like you ran into A9, AJ, or AK here though.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

I am with you on the 3bet anybody else other then utg.I would C/R the turn and call down anyfurther aggression

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

I c/r this turn.
You're almost always ahead, don't want him to see river cheap AND he'll call down with any A.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

Against a semi-tight UTG raiser you have enough equity to three bet here imo. Not to mention how much easier it is to play.

Re: 10/20 6max: am I supposed to bet-fold? AQo
 

i c'r the flop here. You will often get called by KJ/QQ or who knows what. And with AQ you gotta call down even if you get popped on the turn.

The way you played it the river is bet--&gt;call. The only place you can fold this hand is if you decide to checkraise the turn and you get 3 bet(providing that you have some stats that point to his sanity).
