AQo, first hand of the day. How do you guys like it?

Looking back at the hand, I think I played it very weak. But with no reads and MP1 raising preflop, I didn't really like the hand and was kind of lost.

I think I should have semi bluffed the turn and when I clicked check, I had to pull my mouse out of my ass. When the board paired on the river I started thinking. OK, what hands will call? What hands will check raise, if I do bet? I couldn't see a worse hand calling and couldn't see folding a better hand. So like a man who loves men (not me BTW), I checked.

Thoughts?
