Hitting top pair with AQ

Only play about 40 hands with villain. 21/7. he seems really to be really aggressive on the flop and slows down if he's called. do i raise anywhere here? fold?

I think I would have re-raised the turn, but I think you played the hand well. I think it is unlikely he's got AK and even less likely you're up against AA. Perhaps he hit is PP and is betting his trips, but I think you're fine and played the hand well, but should have re-raised. Send me a pm as to what happened if you don't mind (or post it, but I understand the argument against that)

My default is a preflop raise. Postflop play is fine, in my view.

One limper to you on the button and you don't raise? This is a joke, right?

Raise pre-flop.

Raise the turn.

Call / raise the river.

how much would you make it on the turn? I only have about 18 left.

Upon further review, this river bet is too weak not to be raised.
