This was retarded of me, but I was thinking that if I call the turn, I'm pot committed anyways so I may was well get it in, but really, what do I beat here? AK is all I can think of and that's a likely 3bet pre, plus it may decide to check behind the turn with the Q showing. I'm thinking b/f may be better for the turn?

I re-raise flop. Drawey board, and villain very well might stack off with AJ+/FD

Ak/Aq probably raises here and i'm happy to call, but i don't want to reraise as trips also reraise aaaaaaand i'm not huge on making the pot gigantic on the flop. Others seem to think I should just get it in but idk... AQ isn't going all the way and AJ, as if. The only hand I'm realistically stacking here is AK and even then, that's only sometimes.

Dont play the flop so soft.

Sure trips is in his range but thats a thin range without solid info on villan.

It's not only about the hands that your stacking, as you said he might fold worse hands that you might get more action from. But then again, it's not the biggest raise, but rather a standard stab and that can be a wide range of hands imo. VS these hands your giving away a rather cheap flop and control. He might shut down on many turns, take a free card or take some pot control by checking behind. It's hard to tell without more info and your playing this guessing game OOP.

You can throw in some metagame reasons in there aswell. All in all, if it where me, the price would go up on the flop.
