suited AQ- why am I a jackass??

yup, push that be-atch. It is +EV even if you only get called by hands that are ahead of you pre-flop. But, in real life, some of those will fold and you will also get called by weaker aces. At this level you might even get called by any two suited high cards. In short, as you saw, it is tough to dick around with an unmade hand with an M~10 (M =stack/sum of blinds and antes). If you get more than one caller, you pretty much have to hit your hand to win.
