Reraise more prf to something like 6 or 8.
Flop looks fine, maybe make it closer to a 3/4 potsized bet.
Only hand that beats you on the turn is AQ, and since you have a great pot odds you have to call this. This is mostly often a 2nd Q, but you might see a set here sometimes too (although its unlikely with the turn checkraise) and you scoop the pot.

Looks like he stacked off pretty easily.

I'm thinking i should just pot it...He did AQ by the way...

Preflop raise coulda been a bit bigger, but that's the minor issue here. The biggest problem is imho your turn play. Any sort of bet here is basically an all-in (you have to call anything else anyway). So that means that you "virtually" push on the turn. Ehm, why would you do that when an overcard shows up? Either he has you beat (AK/AQ) and he'll call or push, or if he has no decent hand he'll fold. There is really no point to bet here. Check behind. Then call a moderate river bet and fold to a big one/push.

Ugh, I totally suck at reading HHs, my second misread today. (I felt I was in a too sucky mood to play, and now I see it confirmed lol - thank god I was wise enough to stay away from the tables with the wit I have today!) I'm gonna go away in silence now before I make a bigger fool of myself. After saying that your play was good (except preflop, $5-$6 there), although potting it would be good too imho.

Your bets are way too small on every street.
