Default Semi-steal situation

Okay, I haven't posted any hands lately but I'm in a slight downswing and I guess its time to reevaluate a few things. Sometimes, I think I get a little too aggressive in situations like this.

Here, I'm on the button with AQ and it is folded to me. Normally, I wouldn't cap with AQ but I thought the villain was reacting to what he might thought was an outright steal attempt. I've got a little over 50 hands on the villain and have him as semi-loose aggressive aggressive and he seems like a good player. But I haven't seen how he reacts to a steal attempt. When he checkraised me on the turn, the alarm bells went off and I called down.

Was I too aggressive pre-flop? And how does the rest of the hand look?
