Would appreciate some help on improving my game here.

Pretty new session 30ish played hands.
SB is Tagish style not seen him do anything out of the ordinary.
BB seems fishy.

What is my play preflop and why? What do you do on the flop as played?

    Party, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
    Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

    Hero (UTG): $10 (100 bb)
    BTN: $4.15 (41.5 bb)
    CO: $3.50 (35 bb)
    MP: $10 (100 bb)
    BB: $15.75 (157.5 bb)
    SB: $10.58 (105.8 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A Q
    Hero raises to $0.30, 3 folds, SB calls $0.25, BB raises to $1.30, Hero calls $1, SB calls $1

    Flop: ($3.90) T A 5 (3 players)
    SB checks, BB checks,
    Spoiler:
    Hero bets $2.78, SB raises to $9.28 and is all-in, BB folds, Hero calls $5.92 and is all-in

    Turn: ($21.30) 7 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
    River: ($21.30) Q (2 players, 2 are all-in)

    Results: $21.30 pot ($1 rake)
    Final Board: T A 5 7 Q
    Hero showed A Q and lost (-$10 net)
    BB mucked and lost (-$1.30 net)
    SB showed T T and won $20.30 ($10.30 net)

    If he seems fishy I don't mind calling pre but I'm not sure if you have enough info and if he's squeezing BB vs your UTG raise it usually means he's pretty strong. As Played I'd lead out OTF for around $2. As for how it panned out If either opponent check shoves here it's a snap fold.

    I think if he seems fishy I might 4bet/shove but I would probably fold to the pretty big 3bet, seems fairly strong but you figure most micro 3bet ranges are probably 99+, AKs/os, maybe AQ and AJ, A10s, but still against that range you're hurt.

    Why would you shove vs a fish?

    You would have to explain what "fishy" means. Could be a lot of things. I don't think preflop is horrible and postflop seems fine although I'm not thrilled seeing SB shove there when when I'm holding AQ. Tough to put him on just sets and he'll rarely have AK so I call as well.

    Fold pre without reads.

    I generally muck AQ when I raise UTG and someone 3-bets it. I just think you whiff too much when you call. People 3-bet light in CO/BU vs blinds, but not so much in your positions.

    As played on the flop, I really can't give too much advice on this spot. You have no reads on the villain, so it's really hard to tell whether he'll do it with any Ax, KQs-QJs, etc. To reiterate what was said earlier, just fold until you can construct a range for your villain.
