Results:

Spoiler

$5.15 pot ($0.21 rake)
Final Board: 8♦ T♦ A♠ 2♣ T♠
SB showed 5♣ 5♦ and lost (-$2.50 net)
Hero showed Q♥ A♥ and won $4.94 ($2.44 net)

Both players are unknowns.

Preflop, decide to squeeze as the positions (CO raise and SB call) have most of the time large ranges and the hand doesn't play that well vs 2 whitout initiative.
Flop, don't think that have a value bet. SB range don't have many TP. I think his range is mostly PP's. So decided check behind.
Turn, when he leads don't see a reason to raise for protection.
River, I have more doubts if my TP is good enough. Decide to call because of his sizes on the turn and river.

Hi,

You´re littlebit deep, but I usually don´t see too much reason to check on AT8s board with AQ unless you know that player would always bluff his air if you check back.
If you don´t want to play big pot then pot control flop is fine and I would call him down any turn and river cards.
Other possible line would be either bet/bet/bet or bet/check/call(bet) or bet/bet/check if board does not run out too good.
But usually I would just go 3 streets for value with AQ since he can always call me down with worse Ax hands.

best regards,
