Ok to flat w AQ? On the flop is calling better than shoving? Unless villain has AK:spade: or K♠x kind of hand I should be doing fine here.

Agreed with preflop.

Flop's close. He pots it which indicates to me that he's often going to continue betting on the turn/river. There are no turn cards that we don't want to see, however a spade may kill our action against AJo and ATo type hands. Still, I like flatting and shipping when the pot is bigger.

Not sure I agree with this lots of 2 pr cards hero still only has top pr/draw. I'm calling with set really calling if I also have a pr and draw.

Lots of cards might make twopairs for some hand, thats true, but with an actual TP hand he's drawing to thin three outs - so that's not the biggest issue we got there I'd say.
