If she checks the turn I would even check the turn back in order to attempt to get value from QQ- on the river (and I'm shoving a ~PSB on the river to get value from these and worse Ax hands).

I normally fold AQ to a raise too. She had raised a couple of times in an orbit or two and she was sitting to play poker while her husband was playing table games. I thought giving her credit for AK+ seemed a little too generous based on her stereotype and appearance. Anyways...
Back to the hand....
2/3 NL
V - middle aged Asian lady. Been at table an orbit or two. Raised once or twice, no showdowns yet. $200.
H - 30's white guy. $800.
Couple of limps to V who raises to $15 in MP. H is next to act w AQo. Hero flats. Couple of callers and we go to a flop.
Flop (~$60) - AK6r. Checks to V. V bets $40. Hero?
Hero flats.
Turn ($140) - K. V bets $100, H shoves for $140. V calls and shows AK and I'm drawing completely DEAD and feel like the biggest fish ever.
WTF, that never happens to me.
As time went on, I noticed she was basically raising broadway cards, not just premiums, so don't know if that makes my play less fishy but it's not like I had that info at the time of this hand. Haven't felt that dumb at the poker table in a long time. Sometimes we need to relearn old lessons.
