9 Seater NL Hold-em Cash Game. The game is quite passive but otherwise nothing remarkable.

I'm dealt AQo utg and decide to limp. About 2/3 callers behind me. The SB (no read) raised x2 and all but one call. The flop comes Qxx rainbow with no obvious straight draw. SB leads out with a bet just less than the pot. I call and everybody else left in the hand folds. The turn and river both bring fairly innocuous cards and the SB bets just less than the pot each time to which I call. He turns over AA.

Is there any way to get away from a hand like this? All I can think of is maybe reraising on the flop and then folding to a reraise but I'm not sure if that is always going to save money

Any Ideas?

What stakes? Live or online? You can only really beat a bluff so with no read you should give him credit for a hand on the turn and fold. You could fold preflop but I don't think I would if he really only made it 3x the blind.

Yeah, if you raise preflop, then you might get yourself out of jail.
Also - if the guy is any good, you can often fold the river.

Actually - I just noticed that you are UTG. Simply dont play AQo utg in a full ring cash game, and you will be financially much better off.
