AQs facing raise from reg, 50NL

Villain is 12/7/2 over 400 hands. He's probs capable of raising the flop with air/ folding a lot of weak overpairs here so this is OK?

It was Haens28. I think you'd know if you were playing me as my SN is "badgers_uk" and my avatar is a load of badgers

I'd prefer to make this play against a smaller stack, say 70bbs starting stack or less, or with the AQ of spades, or against a less nitty opponent. It's not horrible though because you're still 3:1 against middle pairs when called.

yeah my requirement for the occasional play like this is a backdoor flush draw
