Re: AQ offsuit in the SB and a spurious line
[ QUOTE ]
Button's loose but not necessarily overaggressive, so I'm not necessarily ahead of him preflop.
The flop cold-call is something I almost never do with TPGK, nor do I tend to overrepresent my hand as I did on the turn/river.

You don't have to necessarily be ahead of BN here to make a 3bet correct; all you can do is look at his range of hands. And against all but the tightest raisers, AQ is ahead of his range. Beyond that, even if you are a little behind to his specific hand (like AQ v TT), you still have equity and a 3bet due to the limpers.
But the biggest mistake in this hand IMO is not 3betting the flop, as you would really like MP to fold here - for no better reason than he could have a 9, and the turn could be a 9...
