I got AQs in the highjack so it's a no-brainer, I raise. Now, the first times villain reraised me like this, I folded my hands. However it had been three times in a row, he could have been lucky but I decided to call this time since my hand wasn't bad at all.

I flop a gutshot and decide to c-bet (yeah I know I wasn't the aggressor preflop, It was a mistake here)

The turn gives me the NF draw. I called because of implied odds, he had already half of his stack in the pot so there was no chance he'd just fold on the river.

Now my question is, did I play ok and did I use the implied odds theory the right way ?

TIA,

ARU

Looks good to me. Only thing I'd consider doing differently is betting the turn for about $1.50 instead of check/calling.

He's getting 2.4:1 pot odds on a 13 out draw which has 2.8:1 odds to hit. So if he can make back $0.71 or more on the river when he hits, then his call will make money in the long run. And his implied odds are quite good, since his flush is a backdoor flush, and his straight draw is a gutshot and likely gives our opponent two pair. Folding to his turn bet is terrible, terrible, terrible.

Normally, I'd fold AQ to a 3bet, especially OOP, but it sounds like you had a read that this guy was 3betting pretty light. Not sure I like donking the flop because even if he's 3betting light that flop nails his range. After you pick up the flush outs on the turn folding would be bad.

Ack. I thought we were the pre-flop raiser. I guess calling the 3-bet OOP is okay, but betting that flop is no good!

After you pick up flush outs on the turn folding is a bad option because you have many outs for the straight as well and maybe a top pair.
I think the mistake is playing this hand preflop OOP. Try not doing that and it will help in future.
