Point 1:
Preflop = Call/Raise/Fold?

Raiser is 44% VPIP/10% PFR over 22 hands fwiw and this is not 1st min raise made. I dont like to flat call raises with AQ and given the rest of the table is still to act it may be too early to reraise. However to fold AQs for a min raise also seems weak. How do people play here?

Point 2: Flop nuts + nut draw = raise it up like this?

Point 3: Of course the board pairs and I slow down to check-call mode.
How do people play the turn/river here?
Villain is new to table but has 50% VPIP over 30 hands so not exactly a nut peddler.

PF - I prefer a fold here. Imo, re-raise to 12$ or fold. However for me AQ is to weak to re-raise so I just fold. AQ/AK type hands are best played where ur the pf aggressor.

Flop - Good raise. However I probably raise it slightly harder to try to get more $$ in the pot.

Turn - I continue leading out. Maybe bet about $45-48ish

PF: at full ring I don't mind a multi way pot with AQs, however I'm going to 3bet this hand a lot at 6max, and a lot at full ring once there is dead money in the pot. at this point though i call

flop: standard

turn: not a good card obv, but I really like a check here. plenty of worse hands bet.

river: again, I like a check. I don't always play the hand this way (I lead the river a lot), but checking is good because you have played the hand like you dont have too much (Axd, pair + draw, etc) and many hands will bet the river.

i like it a lot.
