    Fold preflop.
    Is that your standard opening raise?
    As played - on the flop you're basically stealing, so you should probably bet more. On the turn you should bet this for value - bet more.
    If you played it that way then he won't have much left to shove.
    As played - it certainly looks like he has a Q in some combination, or at least AK, so I guess you can fold.

    I agree with what oskar said. I would fold this preflop, if I was going to raise I would make it 80 rather than 55. I also agree that the flop bet makes no sense, it's not even a half pot bet. Since this is basically a c-bet repping the A, I would bet 2/3 pot and see what happens.

    Raising more preflop (not that I would raise in the first place) and betting more on the flop would then allow you to put opp AI on the turn without it being too much of an overbet. As played, that's an ugly spot but I'd say you're most probably beat, either by Qx or a better two pair.

    Dump pre unless the blinds were playing really really tight and there was a 95% chance you could win them. Even then they are not really even worth stealing at this blind level.

    On flop if you're going to bet, bet more, like what Tai said.

    On turn, bet more for value, 3/4, or 4/5 is good.

    On river, you are almost always beat.

    QJ makes the most sense from his line, but he also shows up with KQ, AK, AQ here as well.
