Seems fine.

Any thoughts on checking down

You've posted a few hands on here - don't post the result of what happened after your bet. Also provide info about the buy-in, and info on villains etc.

Strange raise size from villain preflop with 12BB. I'd probably 3Bet to 15k and GII, but calling seems OK also I guess.

I don't like the turn bet size - seems very big for the SPRs involved. You could have bet about 6k and probably got the same result. This would have also left you in better shape in case villain is deciding to trap with Tx or KK or w/e. My preference would be to check and take our SDV vs worse Ax or KQ.

Shove pre . Why call , I don't get it ? If you're worried about villain trapping and being nutted then it's just QQ+ and AK you don't want to see . Most guys don't do this with AK tbh

QQ is 3 combos (you have 1 Q)
KK 6 combos
AA 3 combos (you have 1 A)

That's 12 combos

Now consider just one hand like A8o is 12 combos . Theres literally hundreds of combos of weak hands that players could conceivably be opening with. Most players who habitually open (not shoving) off these sort of stacksizes are either highly imbalanced because they have a few nutted combos and tons of bluff combos OR they are just opening more linearly and they will have hands like KJs 66 A9o A5s etc which they will call off with . Either way your AQ is a hugely +ev shove

Dont see the point on calling pre here. He is raising pf with 15bb.. You just want to 3b and gii hoping to win a flip.

I dont want to induce behind you and you don't want to trap OR nether with AQo.

looks fine for me, you should bet on turn i think, it would be ugly if you get shove on your bet but mostly you have the best hand there after he check twice
