I think It's fine

i really dont like your flop float as you stated he was fairly aggro and is likely to barrel a lot of turns

I hate the float. Once you brt the turn you're literally telling villain what just happened unless you would ever turn 99, jj or smaller into a bluff on the turn with a plan to fire two barrels. If you want value then check turn bet pretty much any river. Make it big, near 3/4 psb at least to polarize your range between strong hands and relatively weak hands turned into bluffs

Just seems like you got pretty lucky by spiking the ace on the turn. Are you still betting the turn if the ace doesn't come?

seems fine but what was you planning on doing if a blank came on the turn ?

all i can say is good thing an ace came on the turn floating is just stupid and a huge leak long term

No not standard.

When you are 3bet as the UTG raises his range is JJ + and AK, sometimes QQ+. That's it. So flatting AQ OOP without initiative vs a super strong range is going to lose you a lot of money. You really have to fold this post flop.
Having said that, his range is still very strong on the flop, you should not be floating. He bet $5 so his range may have some bluffs, but if A is the only turn card you can do anything on, it's still a fold.
When you hit the A and he checks, he rarely has it. Also you're only getting one street of value anyway, so I would rather be deceptive and bet river, you will get bluffed more and get lighter calls, plus it makes your bet make no sense.

If he's a nit maybe. Villain doesn't look like a nit.

id need more info then "hes a 30/20" before calling a re-raise inpos being UTG.

Seems like a fold preflop unless you know hes got a low 'fold bb/sb to steal' or a high '3bet from the blinds'. If he did id 4bet rather then call.

Should this flop be a check/fold or is that just majorly passive?!?

Fold flop

As played check behind on turn, call or value bet any river

thinly vailed brag post that your name is Ballah - Good Lookin'

ya I'd fold it pre since we're almost never getting 3bet bluffed being UTG. As played on the flop fold.. since you didn't fold and spiked an A on the turn, check it back to underrep your hand and get value on the river.

Unreal. The pre flop fold and checking the turn to under-rep seem so obvious to me now.

If I could only play my A game in hind sight. Oh well. That's why I post my big hands.

TYaVM.
