Open folding AQ = 10x better than calling 3-bets or raises from out of position with AQ.

As for the hand itself, this is a trivial fold that really doesn't merit a thread. You played it correctly.

You have the tight nits, usually retirees who're there mainly for socialization, not to play. Most are simply tight, some know what they're doing. The mistake I see frequently is not paying attention. Their UTG ranges can be literally: AA, KK, AK without realizing that they're with someone (me) who would notice and exploit that until it's too late.

You have the college kids from Cincy who "think" they know what they're doing. You can recognize the type as they love throwing around the latest poker buzz-words as liberally as they throw around chips. Then you have those who actually do know what they're doing who never use the buzz-words, never talk strategy. I tend to stay out of their way, and they stay out of mine.

Football season weekends tend to bring in the fish who're willing to gamble it up. They'll stack off with K-high flushes without considering that you have the ace-high flush. Or they'll marry a straight when there's three of a suit out, or a set when four connectors are out... you get the idea.
i don't know you, but you come across as one of those who thinks they know what they're doing to me lol

Thanks for the confirmation and reassurance that folding to a 3-bet pre is a fine play.
