Cactus, speaking of over-playing AQ. Here is one instance where I didn't go overboard with it and let it ruin my tournament. A continuation bet pretty much pot commits me against someone with a bigger stack. When I didn't hit that flop I decided to let the SB have it if they were going to make a bet at it. I still had enough chips to play with if I didn't do anything foolish here.

I think you did the right thing. I doubt I would have c-bet here, but I sure might have thought about reraising. He might have been slowplaying a set and decided if you weren't going to bet, he needed to. But he overbet if he had a set and wanted to get more chips. $400 and you might have called or reraised. Half the pot? Seems like he's trying to steal.
