LDN's Bad Session- Hand #1 PP 2/5 NL - AQs

[LuvDemNutz]

This is the first of a series of hands that I played last night that amounted to me losing a boatload on Party NL.

Since I have decided to take a break from Poker, I want to analyze where I made mistakes.

Your comments/criticisms are much appreciated.

Questions -

1) Is the PF raise standard?
2) Was this a good or bad spot to check-raise - why or why not?
3) What is your action on the turn?
