AQo from MP

[LowDown22]

Only been at the table for half an orbit, so no good reads.
Is this standard? Should I lead the turn?

I like the flop 3-bet, and I like the call down after the button capped. The fact that lots of players only cold call rather than 3-betting with AK makes this the correct course of action, IMO.

With capped action on the flop, check/calling the Turn and River looks okay. This pot is too big to give away with top pair.
