I'm pretty new to the table, this is one of the first few hands I've been involved in. Through 30 hands with villain he's running 15/8 and hasn't shown down a hand yet.

jimmy44 is on a distinguished road
 You're OOP, no club, opp called your 3bet PF, villain is TAG, I think you have to fold. If you call you'll be playing a big pot with a weak hand on that flop.
He could be doing this with JJ/QQ/KK, but he could easily have AK/AA/44/55 or flush

Can you define "pretty new to the table"?? You've already increased your stack by 20%??

Regardless:
AQo is not a great hand. Let me say that again. AQo is not a great hand.

Villian has shown you nothing so far except that he is playing tight (small sample, but you gotta go with what you know). Everything that jimmy44 said applies to the rest. I like the aggression that you took a shot on that flop, but he is flat out telling you that you are beat. So to your question: FOLD. Going to the felt (which is where this hand is going) with TPGK is rarely a good idea even if you have a solid read.

Some questions for you:
Do you have a reason to believe that Villian is stealing your blinds? Why push back? I'd like to see a CALL or even a FOLD PF with this hand OOP against a 15/8, You're going to lose money building monster pots with a relatively weak drawing hand against a TAG.
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

The first hand I played at the table I won a small 3way aipf w/ KK, thats why i'm up 40%.

I wouldn't be taking this same line if opp was raising from an earlier position, and I don't have any reason to believe he's just stealing the blinds, but I just see it as button vs BB and didn't think he'd show up with that big of a hand.
