no AQs is too good to call then push on any flop

I'm trying to figure out what you can mean here. In what sense is it too good for that? Your stack is not deep enough, nor is AQ good enough, to make trying to milk value post flop with it when you whiff feasible. Checking and folding postflop against an opponent who is very frequently trying to take you off what he perceives as a steal here seems like it's giving up a ton.

How do you figure? The only way I can imagine is that when you get called, you might be slightly more likely to be ahead still because the other guy is calling with overcards. But the stacks are still big enough so that he's not likely to call with random garbage, so I can't see how a low-mid pocket pair could figure to be any better than AQ here. With AQ you at least have outs even if you're behind.
