Pre-flop I don't put much faith in AQo. That's just me. I am cold calling pre-flop and playing post flop. By raising to 500 he is committed with 1/3 of his chips leaving him 10BBs. He's committed. Here is how I would play it after the fact.

I would think by his raise he has middle or small pair, or possibly Ax suited due to his position. An even lower possibility would be middle to high suited connectors. I bet half the pot to see if the king scares him. If he comes over top I count my losses and get him next time, if he cold calls I try to outplay him on the turn with a check raise or push with any pair or draw and pray he believes me.

This is assuming the player is weak.

Other possibility is he had a good pair and wanted action. With the folds around him he couldn't bet too big. Making good odds for BB to play.

Got to know the player.
