I don't like my line only check/calling. I wasn't sure what to do on any of the streets.

The river card is very interesting - on the one hand it's a card you don't want to see but on the other hand it actually narrows his range considerably (before the river there could have been several Kc hands in his range).

Can you give a guy like this credit for firing 3 bullets with a missed hand (AT/AJ) or an underpair (88-JJ)? I would definitely include AK/KQ/QJ in his range, only one of which you beat - and that's assuming he fires on the river scare card with his QJ. There might also be one or two club combos in his range too (JTcc, maybe J9cc).

Really tough spot and it comes down to my question at the top of the above paragraph.

Fold to the 3bet

I know AQo is probably bottom of our raising range from UTG and Villain is 3b vs UTG raise, but still his 3bet is quite high, should we really always fold AQ against this guy?

This is one of the rare spots where you have a large enough sample size to make the stats relevant. His 3b is over 11 - even if you tighten that a bit to give him credit for a tighter 3b vs a UTG open, you're still in the top half of his range. I'd fold it against anyone else at that table.

I would default fold AQ here(we have a strong percieved range, so he probably isn't bluffing often).
I would check his 3bet from MP and/or 3bet vs EP and/or 3bet vs Hero stats before making a decision here.
I would also take a look at his fold vs 4bet stat to see if I can 4bet profitable here.
I would start flating his 3bets when he is 3beting way to much vs Hero or our position or just auto cbets and gives up if missed afterwards in 3bet pots.
Once you did call the 3bet I think check calling the Flop and Turn is ok.
Otr i would fold, i don't assume Villain is bluffing here often at all (if he did bluff the Flop and Turn he is now value beting AK most of the time).
If villain is the kind of guy who 3bets and double-/tripple-barrels alot I like traping with AA and KK pre and let him barrel me, and never call with AQo preflop (either 4bet or fold it).

i would 4bet him ...31/19/11...i don't see sets in his range...as you played i would c/r otf for value against KQs JThh... you have the nut flush blocker also, but u only rep AJhh in this case...and nobody calls a 3bet with AJs oop....tough spot.. it looks like a fold...sucky spot oop....
