 OK, a couple of questions here. Villian is 25-10 and pretty solid over a reasonable sample size (approx 800 hands) but likes to play suited picture cards hard. UTG+2 calls a lot from any position and will usually fold to a post-flop raise, generally raises any playable hand (vpip 60, pfr 18). I've been lagging it up at this table for a while. I put villain on any of kk, qq, jj, aks, aqs, kqs, kjs qjs pre-flop (broad range to 3-bet, but then again I am on the button and he probably thinks I'm stealing). I don't expect aa as I have seen him call pre-flop raises with this hand before and think it unlikely that he would 3-bet it pre-flop from this position.
Then, on the flop.
qq, kk (unlikely), aq, kq, qj.
His turn 3-bet concerned me, but I wanted to call it down on the river as I wasn't convinced he was on qq. Should I have folded to his turn bet? Called? Folded river.
Curious what others think of this, I am only now starting to seriously analyse my play after a reasonably successful run (deposited $50, withdrew $400 and left $120 in play) seems to be swinging down a little (that $120 is now down to around $65)
any suggestions?

It really sucks when you wait till the turn to raise and you get 3 bet. There are already 12 BB in the pot and you know he will bet again on the river. So you are getting odds of 13/2 to call him down.

It really depends on your reads on this opponent. If he is overagressive with Top pair hands then call him down. If he would only 3 bet the turn with a set then fold.
