SB AQo vs BTN TP OTF

Not c-betting the flop now seems to me as a mistake. Maybe not a horrible one but nowadays I would c-bet here 1/3-1/2 pot. Flop is drawy and board hits both players well, no need to give away my equity.
As played: I agree with calling the turn even not a happy call and river is a clear fold for me now.

Again I really think you are spot on in evaluating yourself. You hav TPTK and should play accordingly. You are playing for value and protection. Also I believe you would have a better feel of your hand strength on later streets if you did lead. Where as you played it passivly it's much harder to put him on a hand.

About the river it really looks like you are beat however the pot is become so big you are basically pot committed. After all it would not be unthinkable that he shoves with missed draw or AT, KQ kind of hands, this is micro stakes after all. Your pot odds are just too good to fold especially at these stakes and you only need to win 36% of the time. When you look at your equity with AQo vs his range OTR you still have 36% equity at least. Correct me if I'm wrong but unless you where both deep stacked this in fact is a good call. The mistake was playing it passivly OTF.

Thank you, I'm learning here a lot.

We are learning from eachother

FriskyArt is right, same my thinking.
When you make 3B and good hit on the flop, you assume about playing for all your stack.
