I would raise the turn and if 3-bet I would just have to check/call the river.

Raise the turn. If the SB just picked up a flush draw or has a weaker Ace you can stick it to him. By just calling I think you're letting them both off easy.

If he just made a flush he'll most likely re-raise and you can figure it out from there.

SB shows Ah Ts (one pair, aces).
UTG shows 4h 4s (one pair, fours).
Hero shows Qc Ad (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins 11 BB.

Was the raise pre-flop in EP the right play? I normally would just call in EP but raise in MP and LP.

Raise it. (Especially when you're first in.)

AQ is definately worth a raise in Early Position
