Default Raise/Call/Fold?

Live Pot-Limit game. Most of the table have been playing for 5/6 hrs & it is getting late. The table has loosened considerably in the last 1/2 hrs. Villan (Button) caught me trying to steal recently & had to show down bottom pair. Villan appears reasonably sound. Both have approx $800 of chips.

Blinds $2/$4

Hero MP Dealt AQo
Folded to Hero, Hero bets pot, folded to Villan calls. SB/BB fold (Pot $36)

Flop A25 rainbow

Hero bets $20, Villan Calls (Pot $76)

Turn 3 (still rainbow)

Hero bets $50, Villan raises $150.

Hero re-raises $150.

Is this a seriously bad move??

I dont mind what are the chances he as A4? If he comes back over the top he mucking is probably in order.

He definetly wouldn't have called pre-flop with A-4 earlier in the night, but the table has definetly loosened up and it can no longer be automatically ruled out. Trips or (4-4) is a real concern, and possibly A-K although think he would have reraised this pre-flop.

Am I too aggressive on the turn (and pre-flop)? I usually play tourney's and am not sure if i adjusted well for cash game.

it's a good way to fold everything you beat on a drawless board.

This is a very poor re-raise. If you say the Villian is reasonable, he will now get away from any move he was making with A6-AJ. The only thing it might do for you is get AK to fold, but this holding is unlikely. I think you can expect him to have A4 and you're toast. Not only would I not re-raise, but I would be inclined to fold here. His line is a sign of real strength. If he wanted to pop you with a worse ace he would have done it with all other aces on the flop except for A4. As a general rule, don't stuff the pot out of position with one pair 2nd kicker on a 4 str8 board.
