Good Question -- but in the future, please don't post the results

Also, any information you have on reads re: the villain help give a more informed response. ie - was his calling range any Ax ? loose, tight, would he have called an All In raise etc...

I would not shove AQo with 6 players left and a healthy stack

As played, I don't have a problem with the 3 bet and the C-bet on the flop (absent reads on villains play)

You hit your card on the turn - you have TP and a good kicker - do you want to stack off there when you're not ITM ? not too sure about that, but that tends to be very read dependent for me, especially after he called your 1/2 Pot C-bet

Probably not what I would do on the turn, but not the worst play I've ever seen -- I can tell you that I wouldn't be calling the 3 bet with A2, soooooted or not

Thanks for posting and good luck

not stacking off on the turn is just being results oriented.

I like how you played your hand. flop bet sizing was perfect.

Welcome to the forum.
Raise pre is too small and I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with it. You obv crush his range so you should be raising for value. You want to isolate with a raise amount that will commit you but which you also think a loose passive player like villain would still call. I would raise to 600 or 650 and stack off on any flop. To be honest at this stake you can even raise 1/2 your stack and put the other 1/2 on the flop (believe me, people fall for this even in $10 and $20 games). SHove pre is fine but loses value imo.
As played, i like your cbet on flop (maybe i go 350 instead) and stacking off on turn is totally standard.

Raising over a limper with less than 20BB effective stacks is going to put you in difficult situations postflop. Shoving pre is beneficial since you will still get called by plenty of hands you dominate (KQ, QJ, AT, AJ, etc), or you may be flipping with enough overlay to make it +EV. As played, obviously getting it in on the turn is super standard.
