Re: Is my line flawed?
Flop: Call is very questionable. Some reasons have already been given but it also hurts that pairing your hand on the turn doesn't provide a normal increase in outs. Whichever card you pair, hitting the other one on the river is probably useless and often bad.
Turn: This hand is too good to merely checkcall, but checkraising a potential big king is too risky. Bet-fold is what's left.
River: Your chances of inducing a bluff are about nil. Big aces won't bet this river. I would be ecstatic to get a free showdown with AQ. Betting collects from a wide range of hands including eights, small pocket pairs, and big aces especially AQ. Very hard to let AQ go at 9-1 and I really have no idea why Villain called the turn in the sandwich seat unless he wanted to show his hand down.
