Game went 55 hands, this was hand 34.
Villain was 36/50 - I had him labelled as tag.
It was his first and only three bet of the game.
What do we do here with AQo and 18bb?
Normally I would tend towards shoving this, but given the opponent I just called and folded the flop. We hit a top pair a bit above 30%, so is this the way we want to play it against a tight opponent at 18bb, or does the shallow stack justify a shove even against a very tight oppenent?

    I'm not sure flatting is + EV if you are just going to fold every missed flop. Especially if his range is as strong as you suspect, you are still going to lose a fair amount even when you hit and all the money goes in.

    It's kind of puke, but I think AQ is going to be to strong to fold at 18bb deep. Think I am just gonna gii pre flop. Not really going to be doing cartwheels about it, but I have had these situations and worse hands than I expected have shown up.


    If you really think the villains range is that tight, you can exploit him by folding.

    I sometimes find myself flatting his 3bet here because my mouse is already on the call button to call off his shove, only to see that he doesn't shove but I call it off anyway and get to see the flop.. oh well, fingers are faster than brain I guess
