Flop Analysis
This board heavily favors our range as the preflop aggressor, allowing for high-frequency continuation betting.
AQo is a premier bluff-catcher on this runout; folding to a standard river bet allows Villain to over-bluff their missed draws.

Checking back is a solid way to realize equity and control the pot size with a hand that has showdown value but cannot comfortably bet for three streets.
Folding here is a significant theoretical mistake. After we check back the turn, our range looks capped, which incentivizes the Big Blind to bluff with their missed draws.
Note: Folding AQo on a brick river after checking the turn is too tight; you must call to prevent Villain from profitably bluffing all their missed spade draws.
