I am having trouble knowing what to do in this situation

With so many calling down, it's sort of a 'collective collusion'.

the ch on the flop may have been wrong, but I had seen this situation go bad for me soo much in the last 2 or 3 days that I just checked, gave up and logged off lol

This is tilt, though the check might not be wrong. But your first problem is thinking getting dealt an AQ offsuit is license to print money. It's a marginal hand and being in the BB your in a marginal situation. You raised, you had a bad flop, it didn't work out. What's the problem? I expect to win every time I play, but I don't feel unfairly punished when I don't. Bad flops happen to good people.

ur right, hence me logging off when I noticed frustration... normally it doesnt happen, I dont really think about previous situations when playing the current one. there was a little frustration but my ch and fold on the turn was calculated mind you, in a field of 4, most likely someone hit a pair considering you normally hit a pair 1/3 of the time or something like that. on this table, for the little bit i was there, I noticed ppl calling down with a lot of ghetto hands, so I was positive my bets/raises were not gonna get respected with folds, just get passive calls.

You're the pf raiser so your check on the flop screams "I missed" giving your passive opponents the courage to bet their low pairs or ugly king on the turn so I feel it's important to follow your aggression thru to the flop.

Totally agree. I think it's worth 1 small bet to try to win it right there.

it varies for me. but i'd probably actually play it the same. loose/passive tables i've been at always call the flop bet with only 1 OC on the board unless it's an Ace, so i doubt you're winning it right there, especially if someone has any sort of draw or paired 7/5. i think if it was 3 handed, i'd consider it more.

sometimes i bet it. sometimes i don't. IMO, its table-dependent. you'll get in a lot of trouble auto-betting all the time.
