Eh... I probably wouldn't have folded it unless the guy is a nutpeddler, I mean he could have a ton of stuff you do beat.

Unless this guy is an absolute donkey I don't see what you beat here. I think AT or splitting is the best you can hope for. If he reraised then you have to have him on AK, KK, or QQ. I would have dropped this hand when he raised me on the flop. Without a read I can't see continuing in this hand past the flop.

You can never be that comfortable with AQ when you hit the A and get raised preflop and on the flop, since you don't have top kicker. It's better for you to hit the Q, because then you have TPTK.

This is one of the problem hands people hate playing. I will only raise maybe half the time AQs from late position with maybe 1 limper, or a lot of time just limp and see if the flop really hits you. I don't call preflop raises/reraises from tight people. If I didn't fold this preflop, I would definitely fold on the flop. His reraise shows AA,KK,AK maybe QQ. His raise on the flop narrows this to AA,AK. Both beat you, so fold. On the turn another A, so if he's a reasonable player you pretty much know he has AK.
