Default Second guessing myself 5/10 NL Wynn

I was playing in this game the other day and just bought in for $1000 till' I saw how the game was going. There were a couple of very deep stacks in the must-move and the main game was filled with regulars. I was going to just try and take some money out of the must-move which was an action game. Player 1 was 2 seats to my right and he was the dictator of all the action. He had about $10K behind and was making it $80 to go about every 3rd or 4th hand. Player 2 was one to my left. I had played with him before and he was a very good player that had about $10K behind as well.

I'm in the BB with AQs (~$1300) on a hand where player 2 strattles.

Player 1 makes it $80 to go. I am still new to the table and had a weak-tight image and I could tell player 2 knew I was still figuring the table out before I was willing to risk too much money.

I decide to just call in the BB and Player 2 calls in the strattle.

Flop comes AT2 rainbow. (~250). I decide I am going to check raise Player 1 who has been relentlessly aggressive so I check. To my dissapointment and suprise, both players check behind me.

Turn comes AT2Q (~250). This time I lead out for $200. Player 2 thinks for a little and calls. Player 1 folds.

My thinking to this point is that he doesn't have KJ and would have raised if he did. He knows I am not going to pay him off big on the river he calls now and raises me on the river. He would have to put me on a decent hand and a raise to $400 or $500 is what I would expect with KJ. He is also capable of calling with any 2 cards from the strattle which I forgot to mention. I put him on either a decent Ace or two pair himself.

River AT2Q2 (~$650). I lead into the pot for $300. He thinks for a little bit and raises to put me all in. I go into the think tank for a while. It will cost me about $800 more to call.

Now normally this would be an easy fold. The problem here is that I kept telling myself he was making a move on me and I should call. I am getting pretty good odds on my money, but almost any non-bluff has me beat. I was also thinking why would he raise once the boat is possible in an already large pot with KJ when I've shown aggression the whole way.

Fold or Call and why? Remember, I have a weak-tight image.
