Default AQ in HUGE pot - any way to win this pot?

UTG +1 is LA-P (50/0/1.5)
MP1 is LP-P (46/0/0.5)
MP2 is unknown but loose
MP3 is TAG (17.5/9/2.5) - good player I think

Questions:
1. Flop c/r - good or bad?
2. Turn c/r - good or bad?

Is there any way to play this hand differently?

3bet preflop, go from there. I don't see this whole going crazy thing with overcards, then 1 pair.

Button is raising a bunch of hands you crush. Hell, some of the limpers might even fold. I do it, but I play pretty laggy especially preflop.

Why is this the case with 4 limpers in front of the raise? Are you putting him on things like KJ, AT?

I don't think it's true either, but I still think a preflop 3-bet is the way to go.

In a limit game, definitely yes. You'll probably create some dead money, and get additional bets in when you figure to have the best hand before the flop way more times than the odds the pot will lay you.

Why did you raise the turn? I don't think it's a bad raise, but I'm curious what you're thought process was.

Flop raise is ok, but when it backfires, you need to put your opponent on a real hand or a very nice draw (or they're an idiot). This board is light on the draws.

You're opponent let you off easy on the river based on his actions.
