I dunno, calling down might be ok..if you are ahead raising lets him off, if you call down you probably win the most/lose the least.

Well, if he has the flush he is letting you off cheap. I call this down because villain does not seem too excited about his hand. AQ is your only worry here.

Did you consider a pre-flop raise? You could have folded to a re-raise (saved you some money) and potentially gotten you to a much cheaper showdown.

Whatever he shows, make a note on villain. His weak betting can be exploited once you get a better read on his probable holdings.

It's works better (imo) if you raise flop , check behind on the turn and call the river. The pot is smaller on the river and you can let go if he 3bets the flop.
