Villain Switches Gears On Me

[JustToast]

Villain played tight for around 80 hands, then suddenly started raising everything, betting dry flops, basically a full gear change. I picked up on this since I was only playing the one table at the time, and thus I played this hand. Villain was not horrible, but was definately trying to push people around at this point.

Normally i'm not getting my stack in with AQ on a Q high flop, but in this case I was almost sure (80% as a guesstimate) his flop action was a move (draw or trying to push me off a perceived C/B). I should have re-raised the flop if that was my read, but the turn card was pretty blank so I called that push instead.
