Villain is loose fish. On the flop I thought his range was made up of mostly top pairs and good draws. I thought sets and straights would raise more on the flop.

What do you think his range is on the turn?
What's your play on the turn?
What's your play on the river if you miss?

Would just check back flop. And pre is really big... Also you shouldn't be betting 47% pot on dynamic boards like these with a lot of your range that favor the original raiser's range better than yours.

I'm fine with the 3bet preflop, but I would check back the flop.

Definitely 3b pre based on description, i guess your sizing should be a little smaller though.

Check back flop as others have said. It's ok to check QQ-AA here too.

Just curious, what's your reasoning for checking back the flop with QQ-AA? Don't we lose value agains 88,99, top pair, suited broadways, etc?

This player didn't seem to have any insight about positional play - he min raised his entire raising range regardless of position. Vs. players like this I don't really feel like I have to adjust my 3bet/calling range accordingly based on their position. He could have literally anything here (A2s-A9, middle pairs, any combos of broadways, suited connecters, etc).

missed the fact that utg is a loose fish, so 3bet is superior for sure
