Default Playing too weak with AQ?

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (10.33 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, BB calls, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (10.16 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls.

River: (14.16 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

Final Pot: 17.16 BB

How does this look? Should I have reraised the flop? The BB betting on the turn caught me off guard, hence I called down the rest of the way.

Default Re: Playing too weak with AQ?

Yes, you should 3-bet the flop. Button might have caught 2 pair, but more likely he paired the A (or even the K or T) with a lower kicker than you, and is raising because he suspects QQ or JJ of you. I think you're still ahead often enough to justify the 3-bet, and if you are you certainly don't want to make it cheap for another Q or a J to stay in with thier gutshot draw.

BB likely either caught 2 pair or a set of threes on the turn (probably A3, if I had to guess). I agree with simply calling down after that.
