Re: should i have known?
Hey, Rudeboy.
You know... I keep staring at your post and don't know how I feel about it. I go from not minding it (probably because I've played many a pot this way... usually with positive results at SSNL) to a general dislike of it [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. The villain never did anything until the river to indicate that he had any strength. He played his hand weakly at every point, he had an almost a perfect flop for slowplaying his hand (if the flop was AQx, it would have been even better for him.) Since you only have a pair and there's no obvious draws, many would argue to keep the pot smaller: You could bet $2 on the flop. On the turn, I would follow up with a 1/2 pot bet (which would have been around $3). At the higher limits... they're not afraid to check a turn. When he called your $6 turn bet... you had to be a little wary. By the river... if you're going to bet, put him all in. Though in this case, I'm not sure how you could bet it. The only thing you're beating is a weaker queen or an underpair. If he thought you missed the flop and called with an 8 or a 2... he's got a fullhouse. If he's semidecent, the only other thing that makes much sense is a slowplayed overpair. Do 1/2 pot bet pot throughout which would have made the pot smaller and easier to get away from. Also, if he saw you weren't going to play it fast, he might have shown more aggression, in which case might at least know he might have a monster and then decide how to proceed from there.

Re: should i have known?
I agree with Xorbie 100 % with that. I just don't agree with folding AA preflop.

Re: should i have known?
I think the only problem is the preflop raise. AQo in EP is not really a good hand to be playing a raised pot with and even more not a hand you want to build a pot with a mediocre raise. Generally I call, and try to play a small pot with it OR I raise a little bit more and play it fast on the flop and slow way the hell down if I get called unless I know the other guy is an idiot.
The other thing about being in such bad position is that you aren't in any place to get a cheap showdown. You have to check first. AQo would be a lot stronger if you were the button, and could fire on the flop and then check behind him on the turn.
