Re: AQo, whiff the flop.
I like flop and turn. No way you can check this turn through -- that's revisionist thinking colored by the river play. You must bet it, and I think you'll be raised by weaker aces with or without a frush draw (e.g. Ad5d) or other 8 out+ draws like 6d5d often enough that you can safely call. 3-betting the turn seems foolish, since most of the additional money going into the pot goes to the player with the best draw at this point, rather than the player with the best hand. Miller explains this nicely in SSH.
As for the river, I'm folding. UTG+2's coldcall on the turn + call on the river + flop lead means you're beat. If he'd folded, I could see hero calling (and losing a high % but still profiting on the bet). If it is checked to you on the river, I'd be a pussy and check it through. Maybe it should be bet/folded, I dunno.
