you simply can't play aces this passive. $4 preflop, and bet the flop harder. Re-raise on the flop, fold to a shove if the player is nitty, call a laggier/worse player.

you bet half the pot on the flop, it looks like a weak cbet I might even make a re-raise like that on a dry flop thinking you missed. Then you check turn, I assume I was right maybe you have AK, let's say I did hit the queen, very easy for me to then bet 2/3 pot, a normal bet.

The river kinda seems like a fold, but mainly because we have no idea what villain has -- we played this hand like we had JJ, 1010, not AA.
